Hi, Thanks Mike. Thought that would be the case (use a tree view to display the differences as you have described). The first one would ofcourse be the easier of the two but comes with the problem I have described. Any other suggestions would be welcome. cheers, prakash "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx To: <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> om> cc: (bcc: omprakash.v/Polaris) Subject: RE: [xsl] xml diff question 04/19/2006 12:58 PM Please respond to xsl-list > Subject: [xsl] xml diff question > > What's the best way to display the differences. Well, it rather depends on what you want to do. There are two use cases where I use differencing and the requirements are completely different: (a) Creating a version of a narrative document (like the XSLT 2.0 spec) in which changes since the previous version are highlighted: see http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/CR-xslt20-20051103/Overview-diff.html I think Norm's tool was produced with this kind of application in mind (though in the XSLT spec, I maintain the change markup by hand). (b) Comparison of test results with reference results to find cases where the results are different. Here I find that the Stylus Studio differencing tool works pretty well for me: it gives you the tree views of both documents side-by-side, allows you to view all nodes or only those that differ or only those that are the same, and to drill down into either tree to see the detail of the differences.
