Moodle documentation: [Firefox] Add-on: Compare MoodleDocs

I've created a Firefox add-on called "Compare MoodleDocs" [1]. Here is what it does: Visit "view source" of any page within the MoodleDocs, right-click the textarea containing the source code of the page, select "compare this MoodleDoc with" plus the version to compare with. The Diff Checker will open and visualize the differences.

Feel free to install the add-on on your Firefox and use it. If it is useful to you, write a review back at the add-on's page [1]. This will help me to pass the review process [2] for my Firefox add-on. It has passed the preliminary review but for public listing a full review is necessary, which requires more active users and user reviews...

Many thanks Martin for the compare MoodleDocs add-on. approve I discovered that it not only works when viewing the source, but also when you're logged in and editing a page! I've written a review as requested, and hope that your add-on soon passes its full review.

I've updated the Firefox add-on "Compare MoodleDocs" [1] with future versions (2.4, 2.5, 2.6, ...). The function: Visit "view source" or the edit tab of any page within MoodleDocs, right-click the textarea containing the source code, select "compare MoodleDocs" plus the version to compare with. A diff checker will visualize the differences.

PS: If you're already using the add-on and it isn't updated automatically, you may install the new version manually or change the settings of the add-on to allow automatic updates. Last but not least, as you can see in the attached image, more and more people are using it, thank you very much, this shows that this little add-on is useful!

The function: Visit "view source" or the edit tab of any page within MoodleDocs, right-click the textarea containing the source code, select "Compare MoodleDocs" plus the version to compare with. A diff checker will visualize the differences. PS: The add-on has been downloaded 252 times cool
