=head1 NAME
B<texdiff> - Compares two (La)TeX documents to create a merged version showing changes, similar to that of 'Change Tracking' in some word processors.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
texdiff [--nofloats|-n] old.tex new.tex [diff.tex]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The first two files are compared and a new TeX file is output. When
the output file is processed with (La)TeX it marks new changes with
blue and old text with red with a strike-through line. Furthermore,
passages with changes are marked at the margin with grey bars by the
LaTeX C<changebar> package (although only after running C<dvips>, in
C<xdvi> the bars are one inch too far left to compensate the one inch
offset inserted by TeX printer drivers).
C<texdiff> uses and therefore requires the C<wdiff> command to insert
these marks. If LaTeX macros are included in those striked out or
underlined passages, the latex run will most likely fail. The source
of most problems lies in C<wdiff> tearing apart pairs of
braces. Therefore C<texdiff> is a perl script that calls C<wdiff> internally
and fixes C<wdiff>'s output by re-pairing braces again and handling some
commonly used LaTeX macros.
For texdiff to work, the following LaTeX code must be inserted in the
preamble of the LaTeX document:
\usepackage{xcolor} \usepackage{ulem} \usepackage{changebar}
\newcommand\TLSins[1]{\cbstart{}\textcolor{ins}{\uline{#1}}\cbend{}}
\newcommand\TLSdel[1]{\cbdelete{}\textcolor{del}{\sout{#1}}}
Define editing colors C<ins> and C<del> with existing C<xcolor> color names:
\colorlet{ins}{blue} \colorlet{del}{red}
Or from scratch:
\definecolor{ins}{rgb}{0, 0.5, 0}
These macros are NOT automatically interted at \begin{document} like
the original scripts did (see the B<ACKNOWLEDGMENTS> section below),
because this will not work on files of a multi-file document (those
included by \include or \input). Furthermore, if you insert the
macros manually, you can tune them as you like, i. e. change text
color or position of changebars. Have a look at the documentation of
the ulem and changebar packages on how to do this!
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item B<--nofloats>, B<-n>
If given, skips contents of figure environments, but does show
insertions and deletions in the caption commands. This is done to
avoid complex messups in subfloat or complex figure environments.
=item B<--debug>, B<-d>
Turns on debugging. Temporary files that contain numbered braces are
kept and a raw difference file is written as output file name appended
with '-wdiff.tex'. In addition, several regular expression diagnostics
are printed. B<Warning: produces a lot of output.>

=head1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
=over
=item B<*>
Version 0.4, by CG, 2009/09/15. Added use of GetOpt to take an optional
parameter to skip float (e.g., figure or table) contents. Added an
optional debug mode. Embedded POD documentation. Fixed problem
with insertion and deletions appearing in the middle of sectioning
commands by throwing off LaTeX.
=item B<*>
Version 0.3, modified by Cengiz Gunay <cengique@users.sf.net>,
2009/06/30. Added some Latex commands that should be excluded and
fixed handling of '\%' characters.
=item B<*>
Version 0.2, is a perl implementation of TeXdiff by Mark Doll
<markdoll@gmx.net>, 2006/08/09. It was derived from the original bash
and perl scripts created by Robert Maron <robmar@mimuw.edu.pl>,
available at http://www.robmar.net/TexDiff/. This version of texdiff
is available at http://mark.doll.name/texdiff/.

### Phase I: generic processing

## Restore backslashed Spaces (prevents falsely escaped right braces)
# Escaped spaces '\ ' at the end of an insertion/deletion will result in the
# backslash before the end marker and the space after it. Therefore swap
# whitespace and end marker. (This might falsely make the insertion/deletion
# span the following paragraph boundary, but this will be fixed by the next
# step below). When the end markers finally get replaced by $tex(ins|del)end,
# which typically is a '}', without this swapping, this would result in escaped
# right braces and LaTeX complaining about a missing right brace.
s/(?<!\\)\\($delend|$insend)(\s+)/\\$2$1/g;
## split up insertions and deletions that span multiple paragraphs
while (
s/(
$delstart (?!$delend)
(?: . (?! [ \t]*\n[ \t]*\n[ \t]* | $delend ) )*? .?

## Handle unpaired braces
# Search for all unpaired braces, meaning, they are inside a text
# deletion or insertion passage, but their counterpart is not within
# that passage. If they are located inside a deletion passage, simply
# delete them. If there a inside a insertion passage, move them out
# by placing an insertion end marker before and an insertion start
# marker after the brace. In case that a left brace belongs to a
# preceding LaTeX command (plus and any more zero-parameter commands
# directly preceding that command; that's matched by a non-whitespace
# character sequence started by a backslash), also delete resp. move
# that/these command(s) together with the left brace.
#
# FIXME: why is while loop necessary here, but not for handling right braces?
#
# FIXME: If there's not at least one character before the character
# sequence specified in the look-ahead negative assertion, the match
# would stop at the second occurence of that sequence instead of the
# first. This leads to the effect, that the following regular
# expressions may skip $(del|ins)end if it follows directly the left
# brace (+number). The use of *? instead of * mitigates this effect,
# but it's not perfect.
## 1. unpaired left brace inside a deletion: delete brace and any preceding LaTeX command(s)
while (
s/( # $1: everything till unpaired '{'
$delstart (?!$delend) # would otherwise not detect end marker of empty deletions!
(?: . (?!$delend))*?

$delend # won't match if preceeding line found a matching '}'
