op-purpose: returns a set of patches that transform the input to a given string
|
|
op-input: a [[selection of titles|Title Selection]]
|
|
op-parameter: a string of characters
|
|
op-parameter-name: S
|
|
op-output: a set of patch instructions per input title to be used by the [[applypatches Operator]] to transform the input title(s) into the string <<.place S>>
|
|
op-suffix: `lines` to operate in line mode, `words` to operate in word mode. If omitted (default), the algorithm operates in character mode. See notes below.

The difference algorithm operates in character mode by default. This produces the most detailed diff possible. In `words` mode, each word in the input text is transformed into a meta-character, upon which the algorithm then operates. In the default character mode, the filter would find two patches between "ActionWidget" and "Action-Widgets" (the hyphen and the plural s), while in `words` mode, the whole word is found to be changed. In `lines` mode, the meta-character is formed from the whole line, delimited by newline characters, and is found to be changed independent of the number of changes within the line.

The different modes influence the result when the patches are applied to texts other than the original, as well as the runtime.
