So for this example, what do the relevant file fragments look like? Could you attach both files or their fragments illustrated in the image?


I guess im not sure what you mean by file fragment. They are just .html files. I scrubbed them a bit and zipped them up and attached them if you would ...

Yes, EDP is, like most diff tools, a line-based utility. I think "ignoring line breaks" is a fine way to describe your feature. What tool are you using that does this?


I added some info in my post above. Its actually just the diff program that came with our code repository software, Sourcegear ...

You can: use the Current Diff command (the square button between the up and down arrows).


Yup, sorry I just figured this out as you were replying. I believe that does take care of this particular issue. Dunno why I never clicked on that square!

Thanks again!

Regarding my original issue.. I ...

... and it already does this. Whatever the closest diff block is to the cursor position, EDP will make it the current diff.


Ok so I just realized that, while the arrows wont go back to it in this situation, you can click the square yellow button in the middle to get back to the current one. I ...

It is marked as deleted, as far as I can see. You only have two types of inline changes in your sample: deletions (on the left) and additions (on the right).


Well, yes, but I would like it to differentiate between text that got moved to a new line, versus text that isn't there anymore. It sees ...

And regarding the screenshot, what I would hope is that the text that got deleted "'loan or a Loan Guaranty", be highlighted with a different color, indicating a deletion as opposed to simply having been moved to a new line. But it does sound like that is not possible.

So, I have two changes. If I am viewing the second change, and I click above it in the window, then scroll up a bit, the down arrow should move me back to that change. Currently, its not even available to click in that situation. It is greyed out. I have to click the up arrow, moving me back to the ...

Ahh ok found it thanks. Here is a screenshot then of what I mean. You can see the text I removed is highlighted the same as all the other text (on the left side) that got moved.

And I realize in this particular example it is somewhat simple to see what happened ...

.. and not to hijack my own thread, but one more question if I may:

Is there a way to make it so that the down and up arrows that move to the various changes, move you relative to your current cursor position in the code? So if I click in the view window, and am scrolling around, and I click in an ...

Unfortunately I cannot figure out how to attach an image. I found where I could link to an image, but I don't know where I could store an image to link to.

But, whether I add some text or remove some text to this paragraph I am playing around with, all the lines that were affected are colored ...

Hi, the only topic I found searching about this was about 10 years old so perhaps something has changed since then...

I am comparing HTML files, but they often contain sections of text that render as paragraphs on the page. Our code beautifier adds hard line breaks after 120 characters, which yeah ...
