Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

How do I separate the two versions in Text Diff?

Put three hyphens on their own line between the old and new blocks. The result marks added and removed lines.

Does Text Diff understand meaning or code moves?

No. It compares lines rather than intent, so moved lines may appear as a removal and addition. Review the source when accuracy matters.
