Follow the style of many of the pmdev team while writing patches for Perlmonks by striking out the old code and inserting new code in a different colour by it.

Oooh. Feature: a diff(1) hilighting mode for block (rather than inline) code tags. Follow the code block with a diff block containing a context diff (or whatever format's easiest to parse), like so:

<code>
&foo();
&bar();
&baz();
<\code> # munged close tag
<diff>
2c2
< &bar();
---
> &quux();
</diff>
[download]

becomes

&foo(); &quux(); &baz();

As ever, I have no clue how to implement this, or how difficult it would be.
