Is there any such thing as a html differ, instead of just a text differ? On May 23, 2008, at 8:56 AM, Satish Balay wrote:

I guess the problem is - each of us use different editors.

The first time an editor is used - it does its own formatting - without any changes. Subsequently - if the same editor is used - then the diff is sane.

I use Nvu

I sometimes use emacs - and at times use seamonkey editor [new name for mozilla].

I've given up on just raw Emacs for editing our html, it is just too painful to get decent formating.

I guess we have to converge to a single editor to avoid this issue.

That may be asking to much.

Also I believe we have to redesign PETSc web page to make it more attractive :) [with Beth - MCS/web developer's help]

I think that PETSc's web pages are pretty good, so we should only have Beth improve them; not change them just to change them. Barry

Does anyone else think it is crazy that a small 5 line edit in our html files creates an enormous diff, and it takes me 10min to find the little edit someone made? This is crazy.
