Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the diff algorithm?

This tool uses a simple line-by-line comparison. For more complex diffs, consider using specialized tools like Git diff or professional diff utilities.

What does case-sensitive mode do?

When enabled, 'Hello' and 'hello' are treated as different. When disabled, they're considered the same line.

Can I compare very large texts?

Yes, but very large texts may take longer to process. The tool works best with documents up to several thousand lines.

How do I interpret the diff output?

Lines starting with '+' were added in the second text, lines starting with '-' were removed from the first text, and lines starting with spaces are unchanged.
