[pmwiki-users] Page File Format: why? Tools to handle?

[Oliver Betz]

Hello All (especially PM):

what were the reasons for the current method to store page markup text
(in one line, with newline and percent sign converted)?

It's somewhat hard to access this fomat from outside, e.g. diff and
merge.

The PhpWiki "dump" format (multipart MIME) is much "friendlier" in
this respect.


Before I start to hack an import filter for Beyond Compare: Are there
tools to convert, compare, edit the pages?

Maybe I'm simply using the wrong tools...
