Diff2html - Pretty-printing big patches

ruby-talk
1

I've just written a script which takes a unified recursive diff patch (ie
the kind generated by 'diff -ur ...') on standard input and writes a
side-by-side format html page to stdout, and thought someone else could
possibly find it useful.

It's at http://www.dave.burt.id.au/ruby/diff2html.rb

Any feedback appreciated. Including any pointers to existing tools that do
this (I'm sure they exist).

Cheers,
Dave

Dave,

Any feedback appreciated. Including any pointers to
existing tools that do this (I'm sure they exist).

Tried it ... liked it :slight_smile:

Is now part of my ruby toolbox.

Thanks,

Cheers,
Dave

It's at HTML Diff - #{dirs[0]} vs. #{dirs[1]}

Any feedback appreciated. Including any pointers to existing tools that do

Anyone who's downloaded it, or is interested, the file has been updated with
a bug fix.
(Output was mildly broken - "<" displaying as "&lt;" and tabs not being
represented by hard whitespace).

The new version's still at HTML Diff - #{dirs[0]} vs. #{dirs[1]}

Cheers,
Dave
