How do I print side-by-side diff with changes hightlighted (e.g. bold or colored)? redirect diff -y to printer? I want changes highlighted. All diff -y does is mark which lines have changed. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! Quick, sing me the at BUDAPEST NATIONAL ANTHEM!! visi.com

Which is why it does't meet my requirements. I want the changes hightlighted. I've found tons of utilties (like meld) that do that on-screen, but I haven't found any that print. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!

FWIW, I couldn't find anything, so I wrote my own utility. It's not very general purpose since it assumes that there've been only changed lines and no lines inserted/deleted. But, it works for my use-case and it generates either HTML or postscript output. :) -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! What a COINCIDENCE! at I'm an authorized SNOOTS visi.comOF THE STARS dealer!!
