Text::Diff::FormattedHTML - Generate a colorful HTML diff of strings/files.
Version 0.08
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;
Presents in a (nice?) HTML table the difference between two files or strings. Inspired on GitHub diff view.
my $html = diff_files("filename1", "filename2");
diff_files and diff_strings support a first optional argument (an hash reference) where options can be set.
diff_files
diff_strings
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.
my $html = diff_strings("string1", "string2");
Compare strings. First split by newline, and then treat them as file content (see function above).
my $css = diff_css;
Return the default css. You are invited to override it.
