GET:pages/{pageid}/diff

Overview

public. Show changes between revisions

Message Format

Output:

<content type="{contenttype}">{text}</content>

Implementation Notes

Setting Previous/Revision=1 refers to the earliest revision, 2 refers to the next earliest revision, and so on.  Similarly, Previous/Revision=-1 refers to the revision prior to the current, -2 refers to the revision two prior to the current, and so on. 

This feature uses the ViewNoExecute mode output from GET:pages/{pageid}/contents to perform the diff comparison.

Code Samples

The following code example performs a diff between the current and previous revisions of the page called "Page_Title":

Plug p = Plug.New("http://deki-hayes/@api/deki");
p.At("users", "authenticate").WithCredentials("admin", "password").Get();
p.At("pages", "=Page_Title", "diff").With("revision", "head").With("previous", -1).Get();

Sample response indicating that the word "original" was deleted and the word "new" was added:

<content type="application/x.deki0702+xml">
    <p>
        <ins>new</ins>
        <del>original</del>
        &nbsp;text
    </p>
</content>
