Re^2: PM Feature Idea: optionally add short comment on update

Mucking with node text gives me the queasies. However, you made me think of another possible implementation: an <update> tag that could be used inline, and that would get slightly "stamped" upon post.

Node text:

<p>This is some text with a vague notion.

<update>
<p>Let me clarify: I have a more specific notion.
</update>
[download]

Would get stored in the DB as:

<p>This is some text with a vague notion.

<update 2005-09-15 16:44>
<p>Let me clarify: I have a more specific notion.
</update>
[download]

Well, something like that, to insert a date stamp of some kind. On node render, you'd get:

<p>This is some text with a vague notion.

<div class='update'><div class='update-date'>2005-09-15 16:44</div>
<p>Let me clarify: I have a more specific notion.
</div>

That's a pretty fair alternative with the advantage that the update entry can be placed anywhere within the node text. Just to clarify my own notion: The text from the update field would be wrapped up and appended to the end of the node text thus (borrowing from your timestamp idea): `<update 2005-09-15 16:44>Let me clarify: I have a more specific notion +.</update>` [download] and would render in a similar fashion to your suggestion: `<div class='update'><div class='updatehead'><b>Update</b></div> <div class='update-date'> (2005-09-15 16:44)</div>: Let me c +larify: I have a more specific notion. </div>` [download] Perl is Huffman encoded by design.

and would render in a similar fashion to your suggestion:
