Reference notes
How text diff works
Text diff compares two pieces of text and identifies additions, removals, and unchanged sections.
Useful output should make small changes easy to scan without hiding line-level context.
Text diff examples
Comparing two paragraphs can show inserted words, removed sentences, or changed punctuation.
Examples should include both short inline changes and multi-line changes.
Text diff FAQ
Whitespace sensitivity changes how diffs appear. Some workflows should ignore whitespace, while code or data comparisons may need exact matching.
Diff output is a comparison aid, not a merge tool.
Text diff references
Reference material should cover line-based and word-based diff behavior.
Future notes can explain how diff algorithms balance readability and minimal changes.
Text diff developer examples
Developer examples should show comparing configuration snippets, generated output, and copied logs.
Examples should include normalization options as future implementation notes.
