Hello all,
Anyone have any suggestions on how I could do and display a diffed piece
of
text in a style similar to Writeboard (strikeouts etc.)
Q1) Are there any ruby gems for diff?
Q2) How would I represent the diffed text in styled HTML?
If there are existing tools, any ideas on how I could write this?
Thanks,
Vaishal

There was a mail here on 3.10.05 from Joe C., I quote it below:
Just copy the library from here:
http://dev.instiki.org/file/instiki/trunk/lib/diff.rb.
Save it under your railsdir/lib as diff.rb
In your environment.rb add
require ‘diff’
To use the method in the controller do something like this:
@diff_results = HTMLDiff.diff(@object1.text_to_compare,
@object2.text_to_compare)
in your view do something like this:
<%= @diff_results %>
If you want to change the look of the results, add this to your
stylesheet:
del.diffmod {
color: #999;
background-color: #efefef;
}
ins.diffmod {
background-color: #cfc;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000;
}

diff.rb URL has changed.
