As diff tools have improved over time, the number of features which have today become quite the norm for them has increased. Let take a look at some of them
1. Ability to display all the changes that have been made on per line basis for text files.
2. Provide support for comparing binary files
3. Ability to overlook irrelevancies in code files including the likes of whitespace and formatting elements related to comments
4. Some powerful diff tools have the ability to accurately reconstruct the detailed layout and comprehensive style information in html files |
