That sounds like an editor issue, though. You should be able to reflow a paragraph, indent it or whatever it as you like. A compromise might be to break lines

That sounds like an editor issue, though. You should be able to reflow a paragraph, indent it or whatever it as you like. A compromise might be to break lines on sentence boundaries: edits are often constrained within sentence or paragraph boundaries, and then diff would give more meaningful output for most sentences. ^-- This one sentence is two lines long, though, so perhaps my idea is not that good. Diffs would still be easier to read than if each paragraph were one line.
