Re: ediff feature request: diffing line by line

[Richard Stallman]

    This basically means a diff is required that compares line by line and
    that allows to say "next word" from version A or "rest of line" from
    version B is wanted.

For something like this, and in particular for correcting OCR, I think
a completely different program with a different UI is what you want,
more like an extended M-x compare-windows than like an extended ediff.

I will send mail to fetch that URL.
