```

Requirements: Java 1.5 or 6

# Embedded usage
```
org.outerj.daisy.diff.DaisyDiff{

/**
 * Diffs two html files, outputting the result to the specified consumer.
 */
public static void diffHTML(InputSource oldSource, InputSource newSource, ContentHandler consumer, String prefix, Locale locale) throws SAXException, IOException;

/**
 * Diffs two html files word for word as source, outputting the result to
 * the specified consumer.
 */            
public static void diffTag(String oldText, String newText, ContentHandler consumer) throws Exception;

}
```

Requirements: Java 1.5 or 6

To run Daisy Diff embedded in your application, you don't need the entire Jar file. A much smaller Jar file without Xerces and NekoHtml will suffice.

The DaisyDiff algorithm has been integrated in MediaWiki. However, it had major errors and has been pulled out. More info at [www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_Diff](http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Visual_Diff). See also [github.com/cdauth/htmldiff](https://github.com/cdauth/htmldiff).
