Feature request: Markdown support #314

Closed JensRantil closed 1 year ago

JensRantil commented 1 year ago

I am struggling to find a semantic diff tool for Markdown files. In essence I want to see the diff, independent of at which I wrap my lines in the markdown paragraphs.

For example the Markdown

This is a text.

and

This is
a text.

should be equivalent.

Hi,

I don't think that GumTree's algorithm would be a good fit for markdown documents where there is a lot of text... I think the tool provided by @monperrus is a much better fit!

Cheers.
