+Finally, Ediff can be told to ignore the case of the letters. This behavior

+The variable @code{ediff-ignore-case-option} specifies the option to pass
+to the diff program for comparing two files or buffers. For GNU
address@hidden, this option is @code{"-i"}. The variable
address@hidden specifies the option to pass to the
address@hidden program in order to make it case-insensitive. GNU @code{diff3}
+does not have such an option, so when merging or comparing three files with
+this program, ignoring the letter case is not supported.
+
+The variable @code{ediff-ignore-case} controls whether Ediff starts out by
+ignoring letter case or not. It can be set in @file{.emacs} using
address@hidden
