Description

The command "### @diffs true" invariably seems to generate the error message "Unknown command: @diffs" when used as described in the documentation. Starting a document like this, for instance, will generate the error message:

@activities true
@diffs true
scene.setBackgroundColor(9)
let mySprite = sprites.create(img`

controller.moveSprite(mySprite)# tutorial

So far, I haven't found a working example of @diffs in any code I've browsed through on GitHub.

Using "// @highlight" within the code on the line above the block you need to highlight works as described in the documentation for highighting blocks, but is there a way to highlight variables that's been changed or added within blocks?
