### Exit Status Codes
- :tada: 0: Success
- :dizzy_face: 1: Generic Error
- :cold_sweat: 3: Input diff is empty
- :cop: 4: Value of `--hwt | --htmlWrapperTemplate` is not a valid file
### Custom HTML wrapper template
The template is a very based on a simple replace of several placeholders as coded
https://github.com/rtfpessoa/diff2html-cli/blob/master/src/cli.ts#L40
To provide a custom template you need to make sure you have the following comments and imports in your HTML, exactly as
they are here:
- Inside the `` tag
```html
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
const targetElement = document.getElementById('diff');
const diff2htmlUi = new Diff2HtmlUI(targetElement);
//diff2html-fileListToggle
//diff2html-synchronisedScroll
//diff2html-highlightCode
});
```
- Inside the `` tag
```html
```
### Examples
`diff2html -s line -f html -d word -i command -o preview -- -M HEAD~1`
- diff last commit, line by line, word comparison between lines, previewed in the browser and input from git diff
command
`diff2html -i file -- my-file-diff.diff`
- reading the input from a file
`diff -u file1.txt file2.txt | diff2html -i stdin`
- reading diff from stdin
`diff2html -f json -o stdout -- -M HEAD~1`
- print json format to stdout
`diff2html -F my-pretty-diff.html -- -M HEAD~1`
- print to file
`diff2html -F my-pretty-diff.html --hwt my-custom-template.html -- -M HEAD~1`
- print to file using custom markup templates can include the following variables
`diff2html --ig package-lock.json --ig yarn.lock`
- Ignore `package-lock.json` and `yarn.lock` from the generated diff
_NOTE_: notice the `--` in the examples
