configuration argument ignored #160

Closed nlgranger closed 5 years ago

nlgranger commented 5 years ago

(I suspect I am using something wrong, but you may want to consider this as a documentation bug if it is)

When passing a configuration argument to latexdiff-vs:

latexdiff-vc --config="PICTUREENV=(?:picture|figure|DIFnomarkup|description)[\w\d*@]*" --flatten main.tex -r 927a20b8b087f4b15693546aef29e26af49cf65f

It complains about an unknown option and ignores said option:

Guess you are using GIT ...

Descriptions environments are clearly not ignored in the resulting file.

Coincidentally I ran into this today too. It is a bug, fixed by PR #121 but that has not yet made its way into a release.

nlgranger commented 5 years ago

Great! Thank you. Closing this then.

The fix is mostly no good to you until there is a release containing it, so you might consider leaving this open to remind the maintainer that this issue remains outstanding.
