The colors for "old" and "new" lines can be specified +independently. There are two "modes" of configuration: + + 1. You can specify a "highlight" color and a matching "reset" color. + This will retain any existing colors in the diff, and apply the + "highlight" and "reset" colors before and after the highlighted + portion. + + 2. You can specify a "normal" color and a "highlight" color. In this + case, existing colors are dropped from that line. The non-highlighted + bits of the line get the "normal" color, and the highlights get the + "highlight" color. + +If no "new" colors are specified, they default to the "old" colors. If +no "old" colors are specified, the default is to reverse the foreground +and background for highlighted portions. + +Examples: + +--------------------------------------------- +# Underline highlighted portions +[color "diff-highlight"] +oldHighlight = ul +oldReset = noul +--------------------------------------------- + +--------------------------------------------- +# Varying background intensities +[color "diff-highlight"] +oldNormal = "black #f8cbcb" +oldHighlight = "black #ffaaaa" +newNormal = "black #cbeecb" +newHighlight = "black #aaffaa" +--------------------------------------------- + + Bugs ---- |
