1 1.1 christos gdiffmk is approximately a recreation of the original Bell Labs/AT&T diffmk 2 1.1 christos command for troff/nroff documents, with enhancements. 3 1.1 christos 4 1.1 christos It should not be confused with `diffmk' commands that operate on XML. 5 1.1 christos 6 1.1 christos The inspiration for this code was a Perl 2 version written in 1989 by Randal 7 1.1 christos L. Schwartz. See 8 1.1 christos landfield.com/software/comp.sources.misc/archive-name/volume06/diffmk.p.gz 9 1.1 christos 10 1.1 christos The command also attempts to reproduce some of the functionality of the old 11 1.1 christos `nrchbar' command. See 12 1.1 christos open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/ftp.isc.org/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume10/nrchbar.Z 13 1.1 christos 14 1.1 christos Thanks to Werner Lemberg for help in making the package more portable and 15 1.1 christos fit into the GNU groff source structure. 16 1.1 christos 17 1.1 christos Gnu diff(1) with the -Dname option does all of the work and sed(1) 18 1.1 christos translates the output into something groff/troff/nroff can handle. 19 1.1 christos 20 1.1 christos Note the BUGS on the man page. 21 1.1 christos 22 1.1 christos The `tests' directory contains simple tests. `runtests run' runs them and 23 1.1 christos compares the output against baseline files. Calling `runtests' without 24 1.1 christos argument gives the usage. 25 1.1 christos 26 1.1 christos ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 27 1.1 christos 28 1.1 christos Copyright (C) 2004, 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 29 1.1 christos Written by Mike Bianchi <MBianchi (a] Foveal.com <mailto:MBianchi (a] Foveal.com>> 30 1.1 christos 31 1.1 christos This file is part of the gdiffmk utility, which is part of groff. 32 1.1 christos 33 1.1 christos groff is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it 34 1.1 christos under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 35 1.1 christos the Free Software Foundation; either version 2, or (at your option) 36 1.1 christos any later version. 37 1.1 christos 38 1.1 christos groff is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT 39 1.1 christos ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY 40 1.1 christos or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
