Example data --\u003e Included in snippet.\r\n2. simple program snippet\r\n```\r\nimport java.util.Arrays;\r\nimport java.util.List;\r\n\r\nimport com.github.difflib.text.DiffRow;\r\nimport com.github.difflib.text.DiffRowGenerator;\r\n\r\npublic class ShowDiffViewUsingJavaDiffUtils {\r\n\r\n    static String leftString = \"A sample string to test this tool.\";\r\n    static String rightString = \"A sample string is defined here and will be used to test diff library.\";\r\n\r\n    public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {\r\n\r\n      //create a configured DiffRowGenerator\r\n        DiffRowGenerator generator = DiffRowGenerator.create()\r\n                        .ignoreWhiteSpaces(true)\r\n                        .showInlineDiffs(true)\r\n                        .mergeOriginalRevised(false)\r\n                        .inlineDiffByWord(true)\r\n                        .oldTag(f -\u003e \"--\")\r\n                        .newTag(f -\u003e \"++\")\r\n                        .build();\r\n\r\n        //compute the differences for two test texts.\r\n        List\u003cDiffRow\u003e rows = generator.generateDiffRows(\r\n                        Arrays.asList(leftString),\r\n                        Arrays.asList(rightString));\r\n        \r\n        rows.stream().forEach(r -\u003e {\r\n            System.out.println(\"OldLine: \" + r.getOldLine());\r\n            System.out.println(\"NewLine: \" + r.getNewLine());\r\n        });\r\n\r\n    }\r\n\r\n}\r\n\r\n```\r\n3. See error - NA.\r\n\r\n**Expected behavior**\r\nThe output of my program is:\r\n```\r\nOldLine: A sample string to test --this-- --tool--.\r\nNewLine: A sample string ++is defined here and will be used ++to test ++diff++ ++library++.\r\n```\r\n\r\nI would like to have this diff tool to consider whitespace. e.g. consider whitespace between `this tool` for the differences.\r\nExpected output:\r\n```\r\nOldLine: A sample string to test --this tool--.\r\nNewLine: A sample string ++is defined here and will be used ++to test ++diff library++.\r\n```\r\n\r\nI have tried all possible configurations to achieve this, but no luck, hence raising this request. If the feature does exist, please share the details.\r\n\r\n**System**\r\n - Java version - 1.8\r\n - Version - 4.12\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/gvjoshi25","@type":"Person","name":"gvjoshi25"},"datePublished":"2023-05-29T15:03:09.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":2},"url":"https://github.com/168/java-diff-utils/issues/168"}
