NAME

Text::Diff::FormattedHTML - Generate a colorful HTML diff of strings/files.

VERSION

Version 0.08

SYNOPSIS

use Text::Diff::FormattedHTML;

my $output = diff_files($file1, $file2);

# for strings

my $output = diff_strings( { vertical => 1 }, $file1, $file2);


# as you might want some CSS:
open OUT, ">diff.html";
print OUT "<style type='text/css'>\n", diff_css(), "</style>\n";
print OUT diff_files('fileA', 'fileB');
close OUT;

DESCRIPTION

Presents in a (nice?) HTML table the difference between two files or strings. Inspired on GitHub diff view.

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.
