>          Key: FOR-265
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-265
>      Project: Forrest
>         Type: New Feature
>   Components: Core operations
>  Environment: all
>     Reporter: Johannes Schaefer

> Forrest may be compared with MS Word that offers the feature to trace changes, add comments etc. of various authors. 
> How about:
> If there is a file myfile.diff for any myfile.xml:
> Can't forrest render the differences?
> Could look like: Original version in blue font, changes in red, green, ... (or sth like this).
> User's then could safely change the documentation, get the diff for a former version (using svn, RCS, SourceSave, whatever) and afterwards review the changes made (maybe with some external customer).
> There should be an option switch to turn this feature on.
