;;; Commentary:
;; This package provides one entry point, compare-windows. It compares
;; text starting from point in two adjacent windows, advancing point
;; until it finds a difference. Option variables permit you to ignore
;; whitespace differences, or case differences, or both.
;;; Code:
(defvar compare-windows-whitespace " \t\n"
"*String of characters considered whitespace for \\[compare-windows].
Changes in whitespace are optionally ignored.
The value of `compare-windows-whitespace' may instead be a function; this
function is called in each buffer, with point at the current scanning point.
The function's job is to categorize any whitespace around (including before)
point; it should also advance past any whitespace.
The function is passed one argument, the point where `compare-windows'
was originally called; it should not consider any text before that point.
If the function returns the same value for both buffers, then the
whitespace is considered to match, and is skipped.")
(defvar compare-ignore-case nil
"*Non-nil means \\[compare-windows] ignores case differences.")
;;;###autoload
(defun compare-windows (ignore-whitespace)
"Compare text in current window with text in next window.
Compares the text starting at point in each window,
moving over text in each one as far as they match.
A prefix arg means ignore changes in whitespace.
The variable `compare-windows-whitespace' controls how whitespace is skipped.
If `compare-ignore-case' is non-nil, changes in case are also ignored."
