NAME
dehtmldiff - get usable diff from an HTML page
SYNOPSIS
-
dehtmldiff [file...]
-
dehtmldiff {[--help] | [--version]}
DESCRIPTION
dehtmldiff
creates usable diff files from HTML pages. This is useful in the scenario where a patch has been posted to a mailing list viewable via a web page.
The corrected diff is sent to standard output. Note that you will probably need to use the
-l
option when applying the patch, in order to ignore any whitespace differences there may be.
OPTIONS
--help
-
Display a short usage message.
--version
-
Display the version number of dehtmldiff.
LIMITATIONS
The way this command works is fairly primitive; it boils down to some simple text replacements, followed by an
unwrapdiff
pass. As a result, all of the limitations that apply to
unwrapdiff
also apply to
dehtmldiff.
