Class: ouwiki_line  - X-Ref

Class representing one 'line' of HTML content for the purpose of
text comparison.

__construct($data,$linepos)   X-Ref
Construct line object based on a chunk of text.

param: string $data Text data that makes up this 'line'. (May include line breaks etc.)
param: int $linepos Position number for first character in text

ouwiki_line($data, $linepos)   X-Ref
Old syntax of class constructor. Deprecated in PHP7.


Class: name  - X-Ref

get_as_string()   X-Ref

return: string Normalised string representation of this line object

get_as_strings($lines)   X-Ref
Static function converts lines to strings.

param: array $lines Array of ouwiki_line

is_empty()   X-Ref

return: True if there are no words in the line

return: array Array of ouwiki_line objects

internal_find_deletes($diff,$count2)   X-Ref
Find deleted lines. These are lines in file1 that
cannot be present even in modified form in file2
because we have matching lines around them.
O(n) algorithm.

param: array $diff Array of file1->file2 indexes
param: int $count2 Count of lines in file2

ouwiki_diff_internal_flip($diff,$count2)   X-Ref
Flips around the array returned by ouwiki_diff_internal
so that it refers to lines from the other file.

param: array $diff Array of index1=>index2
param: int $count2 Count of lines in file 2
return: array Flipped version

ouwiki_diff_words($lines1,$lines2)   X-Ref
Compares two files based initially on lines and then on words within the lines that
differ.

Adds HTML span elements to $html around the words listed in $words.

param: string $html HTML content
param: array $words Array of ouwiki_word to mark
param: string $markerclass Name of class for span element
return: HTML with markup added

ouwiki_diff_html($html1,$html2)   X-Ref
Compares two HTML files. (This is the main function that everything else supports.)

param: string $html1 XHTML for file 1
param: string $html2 XHTML for file 2
return: array ($result1,$result2) to be displayed indicating the differences

Class: ouwiki_word  - X-Ref

Represents single word for html comparison. Note that words
are just chunks of plain text and may not be actual words;
they could include punctuation or (if there was e.g. a span
in the middle of something) even be part-words.
