The Parsing and Processing tab displays the following properties:
| · | Compare files as - This list box determines how the control treats, compares and displays source files: as Raw Text, XML or HTML. HTML input can be compared either in the visual aspect or as plain HTML source.
|
| · | Text resolution - Determines how the control handles the characters as logical units for comparison:
|
| · | By Letter - The input is compared character-by-character. mismatches are marked on single letters.
|
| · | By Word - Each whole word is a single logical unit. A single mismatched character within a word renders the word as different.
|
| · | By Line - Whole lines are compared. A single mismatched character within a line renders the entire line as different. Lines-breaks are detected by the CR character.
|
| · | Whitespace - Determines how whitespace characters are treated and compared:
|
| · | Ignore All -All whitespace characters are ignored (not taken into consideration).
|
| Example: the phrases "John Dough", "John Dough" and "JohnDough" are considered identical.
|
| · | Smart detect - One ore more consecutive whitespace characters are treated as a single separation sequence. i.e, ignore multiple blanks.
|
| Example: the phrases "John Dough" and "John Dough" are considered identical, but different from "JohnDough".
|
| · | Don't Ignore - Blank (whitespace) characters are treated as any other character.
|
| Example, the phrases "John Dough", "John Dough" and "JohnDough" are considered as entirely different from each other.
|
| · | Ignore Case - Determines whether case sensitive or insensitive comparison is made.
|
| Example, the phrases "JOHN DOUGH" and "john dough" are considered identical in case-insensitive comparison and different otherwise.
|
| · | Ignore Format Attributes - Specifies whether the control should ignore changes in text-formatting attributes (HTML Visual Analysis only).
|
| · | Defaults - Restores the control to the predefined settings (Hardcoded 'Factory' defaults).
