26
27 ;; This package provides one entry point, compare-windows. It compares
28 ;; text starting from point in two adjacent windows, advancing point
29 ;; until it finds a difference. Option variables permit you to ignore
30 ;; whitespace differences, or case differences, or both.

43 The value of `compare-windows-whitespace' is normally a regexp, but it
44 can also be a function. The function's job is to categorize any
45 whitespace around (including before) point; it should also advance
46 past any whitespace. The function is called in each window, with
47 point at the current scanning point. It gets one argument, the point
48 where \\[compare-windows] was originally called; it should not look at
49 any text before that point.

71 The value of `compare-windows-sync' can be a function. The
72 function's job is to advance points in both windows to the next
73 matching text. If the value of `compare-windows-sync' is a
74 regexp, then points in both windows are advanced to the next
75 occurrence of this regexp.
76
77 The current default value is the general function
78 `compare-windows-sync-default-function' that is able to
79 synchronize points by using quadratic algorithm to find the first
80 matching 32-character string in two windows.

83 as `forward-word', `forward-sentence', `forward-paragraph', or a
84 regexp containing some field separator or a newline, depending on
85 the nature of the difference units separator. The variable can
86 be made buffer-local.
