+couldn't the diff be displayed as a popup? right now it's too bad because the diff is actually in the page, generated and downloaded, but the user can't see it. I have tried to address the issue by adding stuff to the change.tmpl template, but I may be missing something - and it doesn't quite look right:

+There are a few things wrong with this:
+
+ 1. I don't like the hardcoded javascript in there, we should use [[plugins/toggle]] or something, but i am not sure how to make the this plugin depend on toggle, or if it is desirable. 
+ 2. it doesn't work at all: first it doesn't actually "toggle" and second the javascript somehow gets filtered out of the resulting HTML so we don't even see it
+ 3. if the diffurl parameter is set in the template, we'd actually see two sets of glasses, which is silly. i tried moving the diff button upwards into the PAGES loop, but there the diffurls are file-specific, which also seem quite silly
+
+I am looking for guidance on how to improve and fix this now. --[[anarcat]] 2011-10-11
