Improve Comparison of Revisions Differences in Content

On the history tab of an article we can compare revisions and see the differences in content. The difference is displayed as paragraphs. i.e. if a paragraph has been changed then the whole paragraph is displayed as different. Even if only parts of the paragraph has been changed. It does not display which words have been changed, so we need to manually compare it. Which costs a lot of time. Especially on sites that moderate or review all wiki changes.

It would be very useful if the changed words are also highlighted.

Wikipedia has this functionality and its just so much easier to use. Please add this functionality.

I just wanted to add my thanks for this particular request at this specific time, since a number of other functions we've been working on ended up needing something like this as a prerequisite, and having this suggestion made it that much easier.

Due to memory requirements, this feature has been optimized for the stable version:
- If there is a removed segment followed by an added segment, difference highlighting will only occur if both segments each have fewer than 10000 characters.
