Let's say that there's an org file whose purpose is to maintain a list of tasks. The file is viewable by everyone in its html incarnation. It could be useful to produce a html difference between updates of that file that would look like and org file. For instance, the file would have entries like: - [-] Add support for Australian customers [2/4] - [X] Menu entry for country code - [X] Change behaviour of device - [ ] Test - [ ] Update user manual And would be updated like: - [-] Add support for Australian customers [3/5] - [X] Menu entry for country code - [X] Menu entry for extra delay - [X] Change behaviour of device - [X] Test - [ ] Update user manual The diffrence would look like: - [-] Add support for Australian customers [3/5] - [X] Menu entry for extra delay - [X] Test The difference would be a separate html file with a 'NEW' link pointing to it for convenience. Is there a utility that would produce a org-formatted difference along these lines ? Diff could obviously make it, but then the actual diff output would have to be processed to produce a org file that could be converted to html. Cheers, Al
