Hello.

This is an old bug regarding wdiff. There is already an entry in the TODO file
for this, namely:

Select by options exactly what is whitespace.

so this email is just so that the bug appears as "forwarded" in the
Debian BTS.

Thanks.

Subject: better handling of word boundaries

Package: wdiff
Version: 0.5-16
Severity: wishlist

If using wdiff on TeX files, it's really annoying if a change
involves attached TeX tags. E.g.:

  This 
link\footnote{\link{http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/{\tilde}sgtatham/bugs.html}}

If I wanted to capitalise link, wdiff would say that

  
link\footnote{\link{http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/{\tilde}sgtatham/bugs.html}}

was deleted and  

  
Link\footnote{\link{http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/{\tilde}sgtatham/bugs.html}}

added. It should just know that [^[:alnum:]] marks the end of
a word.
