[Idea] Colors in the edited text #5

Hi,

When collaboratively editing a text (markdown or document), it would be really great to hilight the text edited by each participants, a bit like what etherpad do (cf the last line of the this pad for an example).

Thanks !

Hi,

Great idea. I'm not this fluent with CSS etc. but I'll try to give it a try. Don't hesitate if you want to contribute too. :-)

I don't think I'll have much time to have a look and contribute before a while =(

I don't know exactly how it works under the hood so I don't know which is the best way to keep track of which user edited which part. Maybe some special markdown tagging stored in the database, and translated into <span> live by the app to hide them from the user ?
