It is different from wdiff in that it allows the +user to specify what should be considered whitespace, and in that it takes an +optional list of characters that should be considered delimiters. Delimiters +are single characters that are treated as if they are words, even when there is +no whitespace separating them from preceding words or delimiters. dwdiff is +mostly commandline compatible with wdiff. Only the --autopager, --terminal and +--avoid-wraps options are not supported. + +The default output from dwdiff is the new text, with the deleted and inserted +parts annotated with markers. Command line options are available to change both +what is printed, and the markers. + +If you wish to have de localization or nl localization and manpages, pass +'NLS="de nl"' or either one to the SlackBuild. |
