JSDiff treats HTML content as a single line if there is no EOL at each line

[srth12]

I have entered HTML content as input (test, dent, den as example in the image), but it seems like treating it as a single line. Is there a way I can treat it as different lines? Since it treats it like a single line, all the content will be sent as diff instead of getting only the changeset. Any help will be appreciated.

That's a CR at EOF, because if it isn't a line, there's no EOL

@benatkin I understand that. Can’t this tool just take the diff and send only the changeset instead of sending the whole line with it? Or there is a way to do it that I am not aware of?

The tool can mention the line number and the column numbers instead of sending the whole line. Unless I can do this, this tool is not useful for my usecase😞.

A hackier way to solve this issue is by adding a newline char at EOL.

data = data.replaceAll(/<\/p>/g, '\n</p>')

Depending upon precisely what you need, you could potentially do it with diffChars or diffWords, but not with diffLines, and certainly not with createPatch et al because they return patches in unified diff format and unified diff format only supports deletions and insertions of entire lines.
