 This hack was in part inspired by the beautiful page change notifications sent out by other wiki software such as PBWiki, which uses HTML formatting instead of plain-text, and in part inspired by the existing diff rendering system in DokuWiki. I figured if DokuWiki is already capable of generating nicely formatted diff of page changes, I could tap into the system to send out HTML-formatted page notifications.

   * The HTML version of the e-mail works fine in my web mail, but MS Outlook shows the plain text version.
+  * I tried this hack on version 2011-05-25a, it works, but does not support extended notification (digest and so on), one should look at extend inc/subscription.php
