Hi All,

To clarify:

This software silently converted the message to plain text, so what I meant is clarified below.

Hi All,

Please excuse me for sending an HTML attachment to this list. There is a need to display some part of it with color.

[1]Bug 13462 - Enhance line matching in diffs; An [2]example diff similar to what I specifically have a problem with on one of Wikimedia projects for several months: contributors often add and remove line breaks making paragraph edits hard to analyse.

Effectively I got this (in a table, but tables are hard to read in emails):

(this line is red)

2. • foobar lin3

(this line is red)

1. • foobar line

(this line is green)

But I would find this more useful:

(this line is red)

2. • foobar lin3

(in this line, the '3' is highlighted in red)

2. • foobar line

(in this line, the 'e' is highlighted in green)

Please participate by providing insight on potential fixes or workarounds (don't expect me to be able to read the backend codebase of this software). Thanks.

Gryllida.
