Description

21       This class subclasses Text::WordDiff::Base to provide a XHTML
22       formatting for Text::WordDiff. See Term::WordDiff for usage details.
23       This class should never be used directly.
24
25       Text::WordDiff::HTML formats word diffs for viewing in a Web browser.
26       The diff content is highlighted as follows:
27
28       •   "<div class="file">"
29
30           This element contains the entire contents of the diff "file"
31           returned by word_diff(). All of the following elements are subsumed
32           by this one.
33
34           •   "<span class="fileheader">"
35
36               The header section for the files being "diff"ed, usually
37               something like:
38
39                 --- in.txt    Thu Sep  1 12:51:03 2005
40                 +++ out.txt   Thu Sep  1 12:52:12 2005
41
42               This element immediately follows the opening "file" "<div>"
43               element, but will not be present if Text::WordDif cannot
44               deterimine the file names for both files being compared.
45
46           •   "<span class="hunk">"
47
48               This element contains a single diff "hunk". Each hunk may
49               contain the following elements:
50
51               •   "<ins>"
52
53                   Inserted content.
54
55               •   "<del>"
56
57                   Deleted content.
58
59       You may do whatever you like with these elements and classes; I highly
60       recommend that you style them using CSS. You'll find an example CSS
61       file in the eg directory in the Text-WordDiff distribution.
