# PanDiff

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/davidar/pandiff.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/davidar/pandiff)
[![Gitpod ready-to-code](https://img.shields.io/badge/Gitpod-ready--to--code-blue?logo=gitpod)](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/davidar/pandiff)

## Features

- Prose diffs for [any document format supported by Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html)
- Supported output formats:
- [CriticMarkup](http://criticmarkup.com/)
- HTML
- PDF, via LaTeX
- [Word docx](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML) with [Track Changes](https://support.office.com/en-us/article/track-changes-in-word-197ba630-0f5f-4a8e-9a77-3712475e806a)
- Respects document structure, so won't produce broken markup like `wdiff`

## Installation

First install [Pandoc](https://pandoc.org/installing.html) and [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm), then run:

```sh
npm install -g pandiff
```

## Usage

```sh
pandiff test/old.md test/new.md
```

````markdown
{~~Old~>New~~} Title
====================

{--![image](minus.png)--}

{++![image](plus.png)++}

1. Lorem ipsum dolor {++sit ++}amet
2. {++[consectetur adipiscing
elit](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum)++}
3. Lorem{-- ipsum--} dolor sit amet

I really love *italic {~~fonts~>font-styles~~}* {~~here.~>there.~~}

``` diff
print("Hello")
-print("world.")
+print("world!")
print("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt")
```

Don’t go around saying {--to people that --}the world owes you a
living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first. {~~One~>Only
one~~} thing is impossible for God: To find{++ any++} sense in any
copyright law on the planet. Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is
because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn’t.

### Options

```sh
pandiff --help
```

```
Usage: pandiff [OPTIONS] FILE1 FILE2
--bibliography=FILE
--csl=FILE
--columns=NUMBER
--extract-media=PATH
-F, --filter=STRING
-f, --from=FORMAT
-h, --help

### Git integration

Configure git by running the following commands:

```sh
git config --global difftool.pandiff.cmd 'pandiff "$LOCAL" "$REMOTE"'
git config --global alias.pandiff 'difftool -t pandiff -y'
```

Now you can use `git pandiff` wherever you would usually use `git diff`.

pandiff old.md new.md -s -o diff.html
