CompareRevisionsAddOn Plugin

This is an helper plugin for the CompareRevisionsAddOn on Foswiki

It has two purposes:

1. It sets the CompareRevisionAddonPluginEnabled flag, which can be used by templates (e.g. used by the HistoryPlugin)
2. It provides an easy way to replace links to the original rdiff script by links to the new compare script.

Syntax Rules

%RDIFF2COMPARE{"text"}% - Replaces links to the rdiff script with links to the compare script

Plugin Settings

(none)

Plugin Installation Instructions

This plugin is installed together with the CompareRevisionsAddOn, see the instructions there. It should be enabled (if necessary) with the configure script.

Test: CompareRevisionsAddOnPlugin is not installed and enabled.
