| Jan 5, 2012 at 13:30 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | See my link. The edit could easily have been a standalone paragraph (it's arbitrary if you add two newlines before an addition), and one of the diffs just failed to recognize it. It's just too many restrictions on a feasible implementation to make it useful, as well as understandable to non-technical people. This would affect sites like Cooking.SE, where not everybody is a programmer or computer geek. | |
| Jan 5, 2012 at 13:27 | comment | added | soandos | To simplify, only allow it if it is a standalone paragraph. It does not make any sense otherwise. | |
| Jan 5, 2012 at 13:18 | comment | added | Daniel Beck Mod | It's just not feasible: Too much work for too little gain. It might look easy in the diff, but it will be hard work to extract the edited part from the post (imagine edits that aren't standalone paragraphs — the diff calculations are difficult enough as it is). | |
