diff to html (diff2html) program [closed]

Answer 1

I use htmlize in Emacs. Doesn't come with Emacs, and assumes you're using Emacs. Relies on the syntax highlighting of Emacs's Diff mode. Only good for doing one file at a time. Does the right thing for me.

Answer 2

The best I've found that produces nice side-by-side diffs is this script:

http://tools.ietf.org/tools/rfcdiff/

Although it's designed to be used on RFCs it works with any text file.

This project also has nice output, but I'm not sure if it can be used without subversion: http://code.google.com/p/coderev/

Answer 3

pygments has syntax highlighting for diff (and for lots of other languages), and can be used as a library or a command-line program. Is that the sort of thing you're looking for? If not please clarify the question...

Answer 4

You can use diff2html.py that is able to create a side-by-side diff in a static html page, from an unified diff input. The script is written in python.

cat foo.diff | python diff2html.py > foo.html

Answer 5

Something along the lines of:

vim test.diff -c TOhtml -c ":saveas test.html" -c ":q" -c ":q"

works well, and you can change the color-scheme of the diff by changing the color scheme in vi.

Answer 6

Have you tried http://prettydiff.com/ as it ignores differences in white space and comments.
