Text::Diff::Table(3)                 User Contributed Perl Documentation                Text::Diff::Table(3)



NAME
         Text::Diff::Table - Text::Diff plugin to generate "table" format output

SYNOPSIS
         use Text::Diff;

         diff \@a, $b { STYLE => "Table" };

DESCRIPTION
       This is a plugin output formatter for Text::Diff that generates "table" style diffs:

       This format also goes to some pains to highlight "invisible" characters on differing elements by
       selectively escaping whitespace.  Each element is split in to three segments (leading whitespace,
       body, trailing whitespace).  If whitespace differs in a segement, that segment is whitespace escaped.

       Here is an example of the selective whitespace.

         * 5|        spaced in         |\ttabbed in               *
         * 6|trailing spaces\s\s\n     |trailing tabs\t\t\n       *
         | 7|identical                 |identical                 |
         * 8|lf line\n                 |crlf line\r\n             *

         +--+--------------------------+--------------------------+

       Here's why the lines do or do not have whitespace escaped:

       lines 1, 4, 7 don't differ, no need.
       lines 2, 3 differ in non-whitespace, no need.
       lines 5, 6, 8, 9 all have subtle ws changes.

       Whether or not line 3 should have that tab character escaped is a judgement call; so far I'm choosing
       not to.

UNICODE
       To output the raw unicode chracters consult the documentation of Text::Diff::Config. You can set the
       "DIFF_OUTPUT_UNICODE" environment variable to 1 to output it from the command line. For more
       information, consult this bug: <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=54214> .

LIMITATIONS
       Table formatting requires buffering the entire diff in memory in order to calculate column widths.
       This format should only be used for smaller diffs.

       Assumes tab stops every 8 characters, as $DIETY intended.

       Assumes all character codes >= 127 need to be escaped as hex codes, ie that the user's terminal is
       ASCII, and not even "high bit ASCII", capable.  This can be made an option when the need arises.

       Assumes that control codes (character codes 0..31) that don't have slash-letter escapes ("\n", "\r",
       etc) in Perl are best presented as hex escapes ("\x01") instead of octal ("\001") or control-code
       ("\cA") escapes.
