A word is anything between whitespace. This is +wdiff: useful for comparing two texts in which a few words have been changed +wdiff: and for which paragraphs have been refilled. It works by creating +wdiff: two temporary files, one word per line, and then executes diff on +wdiff: these files. It collects the diff output and uses it to produce a +wdiff: nicer display of word differences between the original files. +wdiff: +wdiff: |
