Example input
Original: a b c New: a x c
Expected result
a - b + x c
Whole lines are compared. A one-character change displays the line as removed and added.
Settings and limits
Paste the original and new versions. Results use − for removed lines, + for added lines and two spaces for unchanged lines. Comparison works on complete lines.
