   Format: MarkdownItex<a href="http://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/diff/funcoid">This page</a> should show all changes in an nLab article from #7 to #8. I have not found any changes! It seems that there are no changes but a new version of the page is created. Is it an Instiki bug?

   Format: MarkdownItexI haven't checked what the change was in this case, but notice that some changes to the source code are invisible in the output. For instance adding or removing additional white space is not reflected in the visible output, neither is the addition or removal of redirects, for instance.

   Format: MarkdownItexThere are ways to see the source code differences, though I don't know of a way through the web interface. If anyone is worried about the change between two particular revisions then I can always check. Urs is right that there are some changes that have no visible effect. In this case, though, I can affirm that there was in fact no change made at all. This can happen if someone makes a change and then within the half hour decides to revert it.

   Format: MarkdownItexSometimes if I really want to know, I\'ll open the page for editing from each old version (a Rollback), save the text, and cancel in turn, then run `diff`. However, it would be nice if Source worked with old revisions directly, and even nicer if it worked with Changes.
