! Introduction
<<.from-version "5.1.16">> The diff text widget analyses the differences between a pair of source and destination text strings and displays the results as highlighted insertions and deletions (similar to the "track changes" function of a word processor). For example:
<$diff-text source="Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart
Then you can start to make it better." dest="Hey Jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin. Then you begin to make it better."/>
! Content and Attributes
!! Content
The content of the `<$diff-text>` widget is rendered immediately before the diffs. Within it, the variable `diff-count` is available, containing the number of differences found. If the widget has no content then it automatically transcludes the tiddler [[$:/language/Diffs/CountMessage]].
<<<
In other words, these three invocations are all equivalent:
```
<$diff-text source={{FirstTiddler}} dest={{SecondTiddler}}>
{{$:/language/Diffs/CountMessage}}
</$diff-text>
<$diff-text source={{FirstTiddler}} dest={{SecondTiddler}}>
</$diff-text>
<$diff-text source={{FirstTiddler}} dest={{SecondTiddler}}/>
```

!! Attributes
|!Attribute |!Description |
|source |The source text |
|dest |The destination text |
|cleanup |Defines a way to allow diffs to be human readable |
|editcost |<<.from-version "5.4.0">> Only active if the cleanup flag is set to "efficient" |
!!! Cleanup Flags
The ''cleanup'' attribute determines which optional post-processing should be applied to the diffs:
* ''none'': no cleanup is performed
* ''semantic'' (default): rewrites the diffs for human readability
* ''efficient'': rewrites the diffs to minimise the number of operations for subsequent processing
** If efficient is defined, ''editcost'' defines how the cleanup algorithm for human readability works. See example slider
<<.note """Note that in many cases the results will be the same regardless of the cleanup option. See the [[docs|https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/API]] of the underlying library for more details""">>
! Examples
In this example we compare two texts:
<$macrocall $name='wikitext-example-without-html'
src="""|tc-max-width tc-edit-max-width|k
|<$edit-text tiddler="SampleTiddlerFirst" rows="5"/>|<$edit-text tiddler="SampleTiddlerSecond" rows="5"/>|
Edit cost: {{$:/temp/SampleTiddlerEditCost}} -- Drag to 7 and then to 33
<$range tiddler="$:/temp/SampleTiddlerEditCost" min="1" max="200" default="4" class="tc-max-width"/>
<$diff-text source={{SampleTiddlerFirst}} dest={{SampleTiddlerSecond}} cleanup=efficiency editcost={{$:/temp/SampleTiddlerEditCost}}/>
"""/>
