Name
Text::Diff::FormattedHTML - Generate a colorful HTML diff of strings/files.
Subroutines
diff_files
my $html = diff_files("filename1", "filename2");
"diff_files" and "diff_strings" support a first optional argument (an hash reference) where options can
be set.
Valid options are:
"vertical"
Can be set to a true value, for a more compact table.
"limit_onesided"
Makes tables look nicer when there is a side with too many new lines.
diff_strings
my $html = diff_strings("string1", "string2");
Compare strings. First split by newline, and then treat them as file content (see function above).
diff_css
my $css = diff_css;
Return the default css. You are invited to override it.
