Text::WordDiff::HTML - XHTML formatting for Text::WordDiff

    use Text::WordDiff;

    my $diff = word_diff 'file1.txt', 'file2.txt'; { STYLE => 'HTML' };
    my $diff = word_diff \$string1,   \$string2,    { STYLE => 'HTML' };
    my $diff = word_diff \*FH1,       \*FH2,        { STYLE => 'HTML' };
    my $diff = word_diff \&reader1,   \&reader2,    { STYLE => 'HTML' };
    my $diff = word_diff \@records1,  \@records2,   { STYLE => 'HTML' };

    # May also mix input types:
    my $diff = word_diff \@records1,  'file_B.txt', { STYLE => 'HTML' };

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::HTML formats word diffs for viewing in a Web browser. The diff content is highlighted as follows:

"<div class="file">"

This element contains the entire contents of the diff "file" returned by "word_diff()". All of the following elements are subsumed by this one.

  • "<span class="fileheader">"

    The header section for the files being "diff"ed, usually something like:

      --- in.txt    Thu Sep  1 12:51:03 2005
      +++ out.txt   Thu Sep  1 12:52:12 2005
        

    This element immediately follows the opening "file" "<div>" element, but will not be present if Text::WordDif cannot deterimine the file names for both files being compared.

  • "<span class="hunk">"

    This element contains a single diff "hunk". Each hunk may contain the following elements:

  • "<ins>"

    Inserted content.

  • "<del>"

    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.
