Movable Type Kwiki Plugin

I figured out how to integrate my Kwiki Plugin with my Revision Plugin.

What that basically means is that if I include a wiki node like so:

SandBox

This is the sandbox. If you're not sure about wikis, play around here. Edit the text, do what you want, press submit, delete, restore, do whatever, don't have fun. I mean, do.

SandyCove is another junk page.

See, I deleted a Hmm comment, and I'm adding this.

Just curious: what was so Hmm about it?

Dunno. No idea who added the Hmmm. Hmmmm.

This is Pete and Kira checking in... Hmmmm. Hmmmm. Hmmmm.

And then I go and decide to change the wiki node, then I can decide to republish the blog entry with the latest version of the wiki node. And then, the revision history of this weblog entry will not only show the version diffs of this weblog entry, but also of the wiki node from what it was the last time it was published in this weblog entry.

Go ahead and browse the revision history of this weblog entry, you will see what I mean.

What is cool about this is that since I can display several wiki nodes in a weblog entry, then it is in effect freezing a series of wiki nodes into one release. Then I could change all of them for an overhaul, and browse the diffs between entire releases.

Here's a second node to demonstrate.

SandyCove

Hiya. Here's the contents of the other junky page. I'm expanding on the junkiness here.

In other words, it's a way to take snapshots of a wiki progression.
