Do you mean the diff system inbuilt into Microsoft Word or Google docs etc?
- senknvd 3y agoThere is a --word-diff flag in git diff. It can also be customized using --word-diff-regex to possibly match sentences.
- abdullahkhalids 3y agoI see. From the docs [1] --word-diff-regex=<regex> ... A match that contains a newline is silently truncated(!) at the newline. If I understand this correctly, if you use newlines inside a sentence (if you are writing a fixed width document, for example), this won't work.
