TEST ONLY:

My intent in creating this reply was -- after creation and the node visible -- to delete all but the above and this para. Then we can see if Find Original Content (as I've bookmarked Corion's node for revealing original content) works in this case... not precisely as pryrt specified, but close.

Update: I tried the above but, perhaps, too soon after creation. The first response from Find Original was a 404 -- perhaps at about 15 seconds after creation. At <1 minute after creation, the response was in the form of the first two para above, ONLY.

Expendable para was here; now deleted.

Appears that pryrt is correct in the statement in the parent, "... if Monk OP'er creates a post, then removes all content (making it empty), mere mortal monks do not have the ability to look at the node and see what was written there before the edit." Apologies to the good Chaplain!

Still have a sneaking suspicion that there's magic somewhere in the "Original Content..." that I'm missing.... :-)

(Moved from body text): "So, I'm sticking in another expendable para (which has now been deleted from body text, ca 1710 EST (US deleted perhaps an hour from now) and then wait another hour to see what Corion's magic does with that. It may be that pryrt is completely correct, but my (rather vague) memory keeps insisting otherwise."

Title:
Use: <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and: <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).

Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
