Use more powerful diff engine #14

Closed lahwaacz closed 9 years ago

lahwaacz commented 9 years ago

Provide an option for side-by-side diff (not supported by python's difflib) and highlight changed words differently than changed lines.

The diff-patch-match lib seems powerful, there is a snippet for side-by-side diff (without highlighting): http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577784-line-based-side-by-side-diff/

WikEdDiff is now used as the default diff engine and highlighter, which solves this issue. Support for other engines may be added in the future.
