Here is a HTML Diff script, with Python source. Not sure how good it is, though.

HTML Diff
Highlights the differences between two HTML pages.

HTML Diff is a simple Python program that uses Python's difflib to
highlight changes in HTML documents (specifically it doesn't break up
HTML tags, does a word-by-word highlight, and […]

Apparently, HTML Match makes use of this tool, Detagger,
which might be useful to turn HTML into Wiki format as well. Although
there is no reason why some Open Source tool couldn't handle this task.

utility that removes some or all of the tags from a HTML file.

I am on the same path as Uncle Rick, in search for a HTML Diff tool to
replace TikiWiki's wiki part — i.e., I would like to get rid of the
WikiWiki formatting syntax altogether, while keeping all the other nice
features of TikiWiki.
The basis of it would be an HTML Diff tool that not […]

The Foulkes study described by Mark Liberman below sounds fascinating.

Posted by Mark
Liberman at October 13, 2004 on LanguageLog:

Yesterday I heard a fascinating talk by Paul
Foulkes
of York University on the development of local dialect features in the
speech of children in Newcastle, England. He reported a large number of
interesting results that I won't […]

from Mark Liberman's post yester on LanguageLog titled "Personal and
intellectual history of sentence diagrams": 

Even in my own youth, many years after 1877, diagramming was serious
business. I learned it in the sixth grade from Sister Bernadette. I can
still see her: a tiny nun with a sharp pink nose, confidently drawing a
dead-straight horizontal line like […]

Again related to SR Research's adoptation of ASIO as the audio driver. I suspect it uses something like the following.

ASIO4ALL - Universal ASIO Driver For WDM
Audio
This little driver is meant to be used on Win2k/WinXP only. It
is not meant to be used with other versions of Windows with WDM driver
support, such […]

SR Research uses an ASIO driver for its Eyelink
Experiment Builder (EEB, now in Beta), and they claim that the
extremely low delay of the driver allows the EEB to synchonize audio
playback (and supposedly recording) with video refreshs. That's really
neat.

The fact that Geoffrey Pullum always has a point (even with private
sex) is beside the point here. In his
recent post on the LanguageLog
on a pointless argument on the pointlessness of describing the
direction of circular motion, he made up a sentence that contains the
most (circular) motion paths I have ever seen. There's gotta be someone
out there […]

The authors re-analyzed their own data, over-turned one of their
original claims … and made another JEduPsych publication. Sweet.
I was talking with (complaining about) Peter Gordon the other day about

psychometricians because most of them are fully aware of the
limitations of the psychmetric model […]

Does not say much about what a word is…

What
is a word?

Definition

 

A word is a unit which is a constituent at the phrase
level and above. It is sometimes identifiable according to such
criteria as

 

being the minimal possible unit in a
reply

having features such as

a regular stress pattern,
and
phonological changes conditioned by or blocked
at word boundaries

being the largest […]

TinyMCE is the best cross-platform in-browser WYSIWYG editor I have
ever tried. It works great with IE and Mozilla FireFox (PR1). Best of
all, installation cannot be easier — I dropped the JS files in the
server directory, copied a little header to the editor pages (in the
MoveableType case, they are templates) and it worked like […]

DMDX´s scripting ability is severely limited. Lacking a scripting language, it uses something like “biw 45000″ for “branch if wrong to line #45000″ .
On the other hand, the RTF control script format is easy to prepare in Word. It should be possible to convert it to XML/XHTML format.
