Wiki functionality with rails?

Question

What are the best plugins or gems to create a wiki function with rails?

• How to save versions?
• How to show html difference between two versions?

Any idea?

Answer 1

I have a wiki site that uses vestal_versions for version control, and this is cool Javascript diff to highlight changes similar to stack overflows. It works great and was very easy to set up. By highlighting html tags before the difference, you can output changes to html tags, as well as display the inserted javascript.

If you do not want to create it yourself, you can simply use Instiki:
