That's "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!" nowadays. ;-) > If you have notes about the stuff you've already investigated (apart > from > http://technogems.blogspot.com/2011/09/generate-side-by-side-diffs-in-html.html > > that I've already found in the README) then please do share.

There are also other not yet packaged perl modules with similar functionality: https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::Differences https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::Diff::HTML https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::Diff::FormattedHTML I actually already started to package Text::Diff::HTML a while ago (https://bugs.debian.org/721245, https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/attic/libtext-diff-html-perl.git) as I expected that I'd need it. But then my usage case vanished. In case of interest, I can resurrect that effort. (Or package any of the other perl modules. I think Jonas would do that as well. :-) > The issues I have are a) pulling in 28.8MB on my system, and b) > introducing an editor that messes with system priorities among editors. Yeah, here, too...
