• diffhist Programming language 13:06 −2 Stevebroshar talk contribs (better word)
• diffhist Programming language 13:04 −408 Stevebroshar talk contribs (Element is overly generic; I see language definition and features; and this allows removing the jarring stuff from the into)
• diffhist Programming language 12:50 −21 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Semantics: get to the point)
• diffhist Programming language 12:42 −579 Stevebroshar talk contribs (This whole paragraph is uncited and low-value; in particular: exception handling is covered later; prog lang theory is better handled as see-also (which it already is))
• diffhist Programming language 12:37 −40 Stevebroshar talk contribs (It's not just simplicity; it's about quality! Better software)
• diffhist Programming language 12:33 −277 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Classifications: if scripting is a category then it should be another item; regardless it should be a side-note of imperative)
• diffhist Programming language 12:27 +48 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Classifications: Edit for better organization; stuff and the end was not well integrated)
• diffhist Programming language 12:13 −582 Stevebroshar talk contribs (This section is not so much about the definition of prog lang as it is how that term relates to other terms: natural language, computer language and formal specification langauge) Tag: Visual edit: Switched
• diffhist Programming language 11:54 +400 Stevebroshar talk contribs (It's about _source code_ regardless of whether it's for a program; a compiler/interpreter is not an _implementation_ of a language yet some automated process (i.e. compiler/interpreter) is required to use source code) Tag: Visual edit
• diffhist Programming language 11:31 +22 Stevebroshar talk contribs (it _can_ be described in many (other) ways than syntax and semantics ... a formal lang is another way to describe it or even define it.) Tag: Visual edit
• diffhist Programming language 11:28 +1 Stevebroshar talk contribs (it's for controlling a _computer_; not any ol' machine (yes sometimes we call a computer a machine but that's inaccurate))
• diffhist Programming language 11:27 −18 Stevebroshar talk contribs ('instructions' is overly specific (implies command/imperative); it's about control (however that's conveyed))
• diffhist Programming language 11:25 +28 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Definitions: Reword for accuracy; it's not for communicating with _all_ machines; only computers ... although there are other differences (i.e. syntax) intension is a big difference; prog lang is for _controlling_)
• diffhist Programming language 11:20 +46 Stevebroshar talk contribs (Singular is better than plural)

• diffhist Escape sequence 08:22 +107 GhostInTheMachine talk contribs (Filled in 7 bare reference(s) with reFill 2)
• diffhist Escape sequence 08:20 −63 GhostInTheMachine talk contribs (Changing short description from "Sequence of characters starting with an escape character that encodes a meaning based on established rules" to "Series of characters with a special meaning") Tag: Shortdesc helper
• diffhist Escape sequence 00:40 −77 Stevebroshar talk contribs (Remove links already in the body)
• diffhist m Escape sequence 00:38 −41 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Text literal: less)
• diffhist Escape sequence 00:37 +40 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Programming: programming is too broad for the content)
• diffhist Escape sequence 00:35 +32 Stevebroshar talk contribs (better organize info)
• diffhist Escape sequence 00:30 −21 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Control sequence: remove link that already above)
• diffhist Escape sequence 00:29 −54 Stevebroshar talk contribs (Much of the info is related yet not really/directly about escape sequence)
• diffhist Escape sequence 00:21 −978 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Quoting escape: Edit for readability, brevity, clarity)

5 July 2025

• diffhist Escape sequence 23:51 −212 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→ASCII video data terminals: Edit for readability and use more modern terminology)
• diffhist Escape sequence 23:41 −317 Stevebroshar talk contribs (moveed info to escape character)
• diffhist Escape sequence 23:34 −109 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Control sequence: Eliminate duplicate info)
• diffhist Escape sequence 23:31 −330 Stevebroshar talk contribs (Section about hayes is not about modem in general and part of the control sequence sub-topic)
• diffhist Escape sequence 23:20 −3 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Keyboard: might as well schmoosh)
• diffhist Escape sequence 23:19 0 Stevebroshar talk contribs (Move info to intro that clearly was in the wrong place ... and is generally interesting)
• diffhist Escape sequence 23:18 −899 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Keyboard: Remove uncited and IMO irrelevant/uninteresting info)
• diffhist Escape sequence 23:11 −8 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→Control sequence: another whack at it)

• diffhist Escape sequence 22:50 −114 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→ANSI escape sequence: less wordy)
• diffhist Escape sequence 22:48 +359 Stevebroshar talk contribs (It's all about convention (i.e. rules))
• diffhist Escape sequence 22:16 +36 Stevebroshar talk contribs (be more specific)
• diffhist Escape sequence 21:33 +47 Stevebroshar talk contribs (Must have esc char prefix; there must be rules about it; it's about convention)
• diffhist Escape sequence 18:10 +38 Stevebroshar talk contribs (→See also: use Annotated link)
