Description-en: compares two internet draft files and outputs the difference
The purpose of this program is to compare two versions of an internet-draft,
and as output produce a diff in one of several formats:
* side-by-side html diff
* paged wdiff output in a text terminal
* a text file with changebars in the left margin
* a simple unified diff output
.
It can also be used to compare ordinary (non-rfc) text files.
.
In all cases, internet-draft headers and footers are stripped before
generating the diff, to produce a cleaner diff.
