Text::WordDiff::HTMLTwoLines - XHTML formatting for Text::WordDiff with content on two lines
use Text::WordDiff;
my $diff = word_diff 'file1.txt', 'file2.txt'; { STYLE => 'HTMLTwoLines' };
my $diff = word_diff \$string1, \$string2, { STYLE => 'HTMLTwoLines' };
my $diff = word_diff \*FH1, \*FH2, { STYLE => 'HTMLTwoLines' };
my $diff = word_diff \&reader1, \&reader2, { STYLE => 'HTMLTwoLines' };
my $diff = word_diff \@records1, \@records2, { STYLE => 'HTMLTwoLines' };
# May also mix input types:
my $diff = word_diff \@records1, 'file_B.txt', { STYLE => 'HTMLTwoLines' };
This class subclasses Text::WordDiff::Base to provide a XHTML formatting for Text::WordDiff. See Term::WordDiff for usage details. This class should never be used directly.
Text::WordDiff::HTMLTwoLines formats word diffs for viewing in a Web browser. The output is similar to that produced by Term::WordDiff::HTML but the two lines (or files, records, etc.) are shown separately, with deleted items highlighted in the first line and inserted items highlighted in the second. HTMLTwoLines puts a span tag around each word or set of words in the diff.
The diff content is highlighted as follows:
The inputs to "word_diff()" are each contained in a div element of class "file". All the following results are subsumed by these elements.
The header section for the files being "diff"ed, usually something like:
--- in.txt Thu Sep 1 12:51:03 2005
for the first file, and
+++ out.txt Thu Sep 1 12:52:12 2005
for the second.
This element immediately follows the opening "file" "<div>" element, but will not be present if Text::WordDiff cannot determine the file names for both files being compared.
This element contains a single diff "hunk". Each hunk may contain the following elements:
Inserted content.
Deleted content.
You may do whatever you like with these elements and classes; I highly recommend that you style them using CSS. You'll find an example CSS file in the eg directory in the Text-WordDiff distribution.
