Description: #
Patdiff is an OCaml implementation of Bram Cohen's patience diff algorithm, with a few extra conveniences for comparing code and configuration files: - outputs plain ASCII, ANSI color codes, or HTML - optional semantic diffing of numbers (float tolerance) - good word-level diffing out of the box - recursive diffing of directories - extensively configurable output (markers, colors, location format, context) - whitespace-aware diffing A wrapper script, patdiff-git-wrapper, lets git use patdiff as its external diff tool.

textproc/patdiff:  NEW PORT - diff for the discerning developer

Patdiff is an OCaml implementation of Bram Cohen's patience difference
algorithm, with a few extra conveniences for comparing code and config
files:

- gorgeous coloured patience diffs with word-level refinements
- outputs plain ASCII, ANSI color codes, or HTML
- optional semantic diffing of numbers
- good word-level diffing out of the box
- recursive diffing of directories
- extensively configurable output (markers, colors, location format, context)
- whitespace-aware diffing
