Issues, history posts, for changes to description and details, something better than [hover to view] about budoco

@ivangrek - This might be a more fun thing to work on. This is how it works now:

When you change description or details, you'll get a history post that's like this. If you hover where it says "hover to view" you get what you see in the screenshot above. What I want is more [click to view] and then a nice display of the text. Or, to be really cool, you could click to get a side-by-side diff of the before and after.

I see only tooltip.

Do you want to show a modal on click?

Will it be correct?

Do you want to keep this message flow?

Not sure I understand your question. The point of this issue is I want the user to be able to see what the text WAS in the past.
With the dropdowns, I can just say changed form "A" to "B", because the names are short.
With details and description, there's too much text to display so I don't want to show it until the user asks.
So, my title="before_val", that was a very quick and dirty way, but it's ugly and not very good. I want it nicer.
Either, display the text in a nice modal window, or, even more exciting, display a side-by-side diff.

Ok. I do.

I have no experience with it, but it might be worth exploring.

diff format needs

[ctrager]

Things to think about:
What is the size of your popup window?
What if there's just a small amount of text? Do you resize the window small?
What if there's a huge amount of text? You need to set a max size and then show scrollbars.
When you think you are done, let me know.
So the idea of showing a side-by-side diff, that's not something you like? That's not something you can do?

The height depends on the content.

I like side-by-side diff, but it needs research to use.

Test with content that's taller than the height of the screen.

This style breaks the layout as it is very general. (<div>)

It's a default. margin: 0, that's a default too. I picked a default that would result in me doing the least overriding. margin: 0, that would be a default that I'd be overriding a lot.

I'm not saying that my way is the best, but I am saying that whether the default is 0 or whether the default is 15, it would frequently need to be overriden.

Sorry. I have no control over how rude or inappropriate the phrases can be. (My phrases.)
