It depends, what you mean with "snapshot". For me a snapshot also contains CSS settings. So if you want to preserve a "pixel perfect" representation of a tiddler you better go with a screenshot. The second possibility would be a "static tiddler" eg: https://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html If you view it's source: view-source:https://tiddlywiki.com/static/TiddlyWiki.html you'll see, that the CSS is dynamically "linked" in line 13. Since it contains everything it is about 60kByte in size. So if I would want to preserve a snapshot of this combination I'd use git, because it is designed to deal with multi-file diffs. > it would compress the result and allow review in a new tab or iframe.

So you can see the differences. I'm only interested in the differences, so there is no need to store the whole thing 2 times. IMO it's much more efficient to only store the differences. ... TW already contains a diff-match-patch tool, that allows us to annotate differences between 2 tiddlers. I'd use this tool <https://tiddlywiki.com/#DiffTextWidget>, or the underling libs, which is already part of the core. just some thoughts mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
