diff2htmlcompare's Issues

It's great and will you upload it it pip?

Great code! Will you upload it to pip?

Add a license

Hi, can you add a license to this tool? I would like to use it, but not sure if I can.

Thanks!

./diff2HtmlCompare.py: line 30: from: command not found

Hi,
I really like your project but I'm having problem trying to run it on my linux machine. The installation went well with no erro but when I try to run:
./diff2HtmlCompare.py file1 file2
I got this:
./diff2HtmlCompare.py: line 30: from: command not found
./diff2HtmlCompare.py: line 31: from: command not found
./diff2HtmlCompare.py: line 32: from: command not found
./diff2HtmlCompare.py: line 33: from: command not found
./diff2HtmlCompare.py: line 36: PYGMENTS_STYLES: command not found
./diff2HtmlCompare.py: line 60: syntax error near unexpected token (' ./diff2HtmlCompare.py: line 60: '

The pygments are ok:
[mex@hope diff2HtmlCompare-master]$ pip install pygments
Requirement already satisfied: pygments in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages (2.1.3)

What is it wrong with my procedure?
Thanks,
M

mmmh

aloha,

the screenshot looks good, but no install script and no python3 support, so too much to do to get it working fast ...

Instructions for use are lacking...

I was trying to use your script but the instructions on use are lacking and seem to have not been updated. I am also finding it hard to locate your latest published script that has the corrections based on your updates/comments. Can you please let me know if you have abandoned this work or point me to where the latest release is located?

Thanks!

future of diff2HtmlCompare / some feature requests

Hi,

I really like your tool 😁

Just some questions about the future and possible features. There are some features which jump into my mind, immediately, after having played with your tool:

• text wrap in HTML output
  when a line of text is longer than the available line space, there should be an option to tell the HTML output to wrap the lines so that the frequent usage of the shift bar can be omitted.
• highlight of change details
  currently, there is a change highlight for THE ENTIRE LINE, so the user has to look for the detailled change within the line and looses a lot of time doing it. The result screen looks as @aramay showed at the end of issue #5 . See this project for an illustration: https://github.com/yebrahim/pydiff .
• alternative outputs
  currently, there is only an output to HTML in a two-document way. on the left the original text and on the right the changed text. Other output formats like a MARKDOWN-file or PLAIN-TEXT to the console would come handy when trying to use the tool in a tool chain.
• one-file output version
  currently, there are TWO OUTPUTS, one on the left and one on the right of the results screen. Would it be possible to merge both (the deletions from the original file and the new content from the changed file) into ONE SINGLE output? thus, a kind of change protocol / history could easily be created which always shows the latest content combined with the last changes.

What do you think?

Options for out data

Hi!
Thanks for greatest job.
This program very useful.
But do you can add options key, then i can see only diffs string in result ?
