Contrast HTML or HTM web pages to see differences in texts and codes

What would you do if you had to compare two web pages? Moreover, you are interested both in the texts and HTML codes? Sure, you can copy texts to text editors and then manually compare files. However, this method is extremely ineffective. Besides, you will need much time to perform all copy-paste operations.

Forget about wasting your time! If you need to compare HTML or HTM web pages you should definitely use Compare Suite from AKS-LABS. In order to contrast two web pages all you need to do is to run Compare Suite, save pages to your hard drive and open them. All the rest Compare Suite will do for you.

When comparing HTML or HTM web pages you will have two comparison options. You can compare pages with the HTML converter on and off (go to Tools-Options-Plugins to see details). Thus, if you are primarily interested in HTML code (for instance you want to find mistakes in newer code version) you have to turn the converter off. Thus, you will be able to see HTML tags. Moreover, Compare Suite will use its Syntax Highlighting option, i.e. will mark those parts of text referred to HTML code. This option would be helpful, for instance, for web masters.

On the other hand, for example, copywriters need to compare texts only (for instance in order to see similarity rate between the texts). In such a case it is imperative to turn the converter on. The texts of web pages will be displayed without HTML code inserts.

If you compare HTML pages to share results with your colleagues you can make an effective use of commenting feature. Thus, you can leave comments to any line in the texts. For instance, you may write “Mistake in code, line 13-14” and this comment will be included to the comparison report which you can send to colleagues who work on a current project. This will surely save your time since you do not need to meet your colleagues in person or call them.

Besides, you have an opportunity of making a comparison report which will include the most complete stats on differences and similarities between the web pages. As said above, webmasters can see changes in HTML codes while ordinary users or copywriters can track changes in the contents/texts. It needs mentioning that you can choose report style (standard, advanced, changes only, left or right side only etc.)
