When I subscribe to the RSS feed of the difference page, the red color text in comparing Differences Between Revisions does not appear in RED in the feed. It displays in black and it is hard to know what has changed. Though on the webpage it is very easy to check only the RED color text.

How reliable is this? Technically, <style> is only legal inside the <head> portion of an HTML document, so this would apparently produce invalid HTML fragments. More seriously, importing the entire offsite stylesheet in each post could be rather disruptive for inline display of the feed in a web-based aggregator.
(In reply to comment #4) > How reliable is this? RSS readers should have HTTP access (e.g. correct proxy settings). There are cases it does not support @import - maybe it is better to use <link rel="stylesheet">. Anyway, having some probabilty to work is better than always failing. > Technically, <style> is only legal inside the <head> portion of an HTML document, so > this would apparently produce invalid HTML fragments. Agree, but probably many RSS clients support quirks-mode. Otherwise, we cannot specify styles other than using the style attribute, since boh <style> and <link> are valid only in <head>. > More seriously, importing the entire offsite stylesheet in each post could be rather > disruptive for inline display of the feed in a web-based aggregator. I am equally preferable to inlining the styles, but doing otherwise made it easy to customize by choosing another default style. How do you feel like spining off a css file specifically for diffs?
Created attachment 1331 [details] Experimental XSL stylesheet to apply to diff HTML to inline styles Just for "fun" I tried whipping up an XSLT stylesheet to apply the styles inline. This is kind of ugly; hopefully there's a nicer way of doing it. PHP 5 includes an XSLT extension, but doesn't compile it in by default (sigh). In CVS HEAD I just applied a nice simple regex hack in SpecialRecentchanges.php, which is sufficient for the moment.
