"Similar" doesn't mean anything special, beside that you won't get valuable output if the diffed files are too differents. Currently tags order matters, though it should not be that hard to normalize (eg sort) document so it doesn't. xmldiff outputs diff using either its own representation or XUpdate. It also incluses a small "xmlrev" script which calls xmldiff then uses xsltproc + a xsl transformation to display diff in HTML as you seem to wish. Also notice that this project is only minimally maintained by us since we don't have a lot of time to spend on it. Though as you can see, we're willing to help users, and welcome contributions ;) PS: CCing the mailing list where discussions about xmldiff should go. -- Sylvain Thénault, LOGILAB, Paris (01.45.32.03.12) - Toulouse (09.54.03.55.76) Formations Python, Debian, Méth.
