Html Presentation

By default Daisy Diff is using the Dojo Toolkit for presentation of the html output. This offers annotation tooltips on the result that allow the user to move back and forth between differences.

Default Values are

1. Added text is shown in green background
2. Removed text is shown in red background
3. Formatted text is shown with a blue underline and tooltip
4. Special styles for images that show coloured layers

Here is an example (HTML mode):

Changing the default styles

You can change the default presentation by updating (or replacing) the CSS used by the resulting file. Open the diff.css file to look at the present values.

Inside the file you will see several CSS declarations such as

1. span.diff-html-removed (removed text in html mode)
2. span.diff-html-added (added text in html mode)
3. span.diff-html-changed (formatted text in html mode)

Override/Change this values are you are free to customize the presentation!

Simple Example

Let's assume that instead of the default values you want to have the following

1. blue text for additions
2. red strike-through text for removals
3. dotted underlines for formatting changes
4. default values for the images

You modify the css file as below

span.diff-html-removed {
color: red; 
text-decoration: line-through;
cursor: default;
} 

span.diff-html-added {
color: blue;
cursor: default;
} 

span.diff-html-changed {
color: black;
border-bottom: dotted 2px red;
cursor: default;
text-decoration: none;
}

and now you have the requested result!
