// User:Quarl/diffsince.js - utility functions for doing a "diff since I // last edited"

// depends: wikipage.js, util.js

// Synopsis: //   url = diffsince.makeUrl(wikiPage); //   href = 'diff since';

// Or: //   url = diffsince.makeUrl(wp); //   href = 'diff since';

// Navigating to the value of makeUrl will open a history page, parse it, and // jump to the appropriate diff.

// The diffPageAsync function asynchronously downloads the history page and // then navigates to the diff. It is appropriate as an onClick handler.

// The diffThis function does the diff directly if already looking at a // history page, else calls diffPageAsync(wikiPage).

// diffPageAsync and diffThis take status_node and status_text parameters for // showing progress.

// quarl 2006-01-16 (asynchronous code originally written in show_diff_since.js) // quarl 2006-02-03 factored as library
