I like kdiff3 very much due to the way it displays the result. It can compare more than two versions of a file or directory and displays the differences in columns:For directories, it displays their tree structure and it's easily recognizable which file exists/is modified where For files, it shows one column per file with the full text, highlighting the differences using various colors indicating the type of difference.Here is a screenshot for those who don't know it:Often, I would like to give away this nice output, but unfortunately, KDiff3 does not support to save/print its output.The simple output of the command line tool diff is a bit... puristic, with option -y I get at least a two-column-output, but also the output is not so nice.colordiff seems not to be what I'm looking for.Is there any other tool that can produce an output like this and save it to html/pdf/whatever?Edit:I'm looking for a tool, whichcompares files and entire directoriesthree or more versionsgenerates side-by-side view of entire filescolors the differences to make them more visibleallows to save this to a common format like HTML or PDFThe last point is the most important. Something like a screenshot would do the job, but usually, the files are too large for the screen, and I did not find a tool for linux yet, which can capture an entire window.
Diff tool with nice output like kdiff3
