comparing text with the new typo-dif.mkxl
Hi Hans, from typo-dif.mkxl, lines 16-17:
% Currently only a color can be set but I might add support for underline % and simple background.
Would it be possible to have simple (color) background implemented? After comparing texts, I realize that when few chars differ (or even only one), it is harder to notice. Colored background (with even white foreground color) is far easier to notice. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

much is possible but before i mess up the code with that we need to be sure about variants and that's something we're still exploring also, right now i'm in a "context squid" mode (for the upcoming meeting)

but also quite ugly (and it will add runtime) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Many thanks for the reply, Hans. Good to know that you are in another mode.

This will be (and has to be) ugly, but this isn’t standard typesetting at all (colored single characters also serve a a purpose). Many thanks for your help, Pablo
