NAME
latexdiff-vc - wrapper script that calls latexdiff for different versions of a file under version management (CVS, RCS or SVN)SYNOPSIS
latexdiff-vc [ latexdiff-options ] [ latexdiff-vc-options ] -r [rev1] [-r rev2] file1.tex [ file2.tex ...]
or
latexdiff-vc [ latexdiff-options ] [ latexdiff-vc-options ][ --postscript | --pdf ] old.tex new.tex
DESCRIPTION
latexdiff-vc is a wrapper script that applies latexdiff to a file, or multiple files under version control (git, subversion (OPTIONS
- --rcs, --svn, --cvs, --git or --hg
-
Set the version system.
If no version system is specified, latexdiff-vc will venture a guess.
latexdiff-cvs, latexdiff-rcs etc are variants of latexdiff-vc which default to the respective versioning system. However, this default can still be overridden using the options above.
- -r, -r rev or --revision, --revision=rev
-
Choose revision (under RCS, CVS, SVN, GITorHG). One or two -r options can be specified, and they result in different behaviour:
-
- latexdiff-vc -r file.tex ...
-
compares file.tex with the most recent version checked into RCS.
- latexdiff-vc -r rev1 file.tex ...
- compares file.tex with revision rev1.
- latexdiff-vc -r rev1 -r rev2 file.tex ...
-
compares revisions rev1 and rev2 of file.tex.
Multiple files can be specified for all of the above options. All files must have the extension ".tex", though.
- latexdiff-vc old.tex new.tex
- compares two files.
-
The name of the difference file is generated automatically and reported to stdout.
-
- -d or --dir -d path or --dir=path
- Rather than appending the string "diff" and optionally the version numbers given to the output-file, this will prepend a directory name "diff" to the original filename, creating the directory and subdirectories should they not exist already. This is particularly useful in order to clone a complete directory hierarchy. Optionally, a pathname path can be specified, which is prepended instead of "diff".
- --flatten,--flatten=keep-intermediate
-
If combined with "--git", "--svn" or "--hg" option or the corresponding modes, check out the revisions to compare in a separate temporary directory, and then pass on option "--flatten" to latexdiff. The directory in which "latexdiff-vc" is invoked defines the subtree which will be checked out.
Note that if additional files are needed which are not included in the flatten procedure (package files, included graphics), they need to be accessible in the current directory. If you use bibtex, it is recommended to include the ".bbl" file in the version management.
The generic usage of this function is : "latexdiff-vc --flatten -r rev1 [-r rev2] master.tex" where master.tex is the project file containing the highest level of includes etc.
With "--flatten=keep-intermediate", the intermediate revision snapshots are kept in the current directory (Default is to store them in a temporary directory and delete them after generating the diff file.)
- --config var1=val1,var2=val2,... or -c var1=val1,..
- --only-changes
-
Post-process the output such that only pages with changes on them are displayed. This requires the use of subtype ZLABELin latexdiff, which will be set automatically, but any manually set -s option will be overruled (also requires zref package to be installed). (note that this option must be combined with --ps or --pdf to make sense)
- --force
- Overwrite existing diff files without asking for confirmation. Default behaviour is to ask for confirmation before overwriting an existing difference file.
- --run
- run latex command on diff file after generation of diff file.
- --dvi
- run latex and dvixxx commands after generation of diff file.
- -c configfile
-
Set configuration variables for latexdiff and latexdiff-vc. The option can be repeated to set different
variables (as an alternative to the comma-separated list).
Available variables for latexdiff-vc:
-
- LATEXDIFF latexdiff command (e.g. latexdiff-fast, latexdiff-so). This command should support the option --interaction=batchmode
- LATEX latex command (e.g. pdflatex, lualatex)
- DVI2 Command for conversion of dvi file (e.g. dvips, dvipdf)
- BIBTEX Command replacing bibtex
-
All other config variables are passed to latexdiff. Explicity set configuration changes always override implicit changes by the following shortcut options --fast, --so, --ps and --pdf.
-
- --fast or --so
- Use "latexdiff-fast" or "latexdiff-so", respectively (instead of "latexdiff").
- --ps or --postscript
- Generate postscript output from difference file. This will run the sequence "latex; latex; dvips" on the difference file (do not use this option in the rare cases, where three "latex" commands are required if you care about correct referencing). If the difference file contains a "\bibliography" tag, run the sequence "latex; bibtex; latex; latex; dvips".
- Generate pdf output from difference file using "pdflatex". This will run the sequence "pdflatex; pdflatex" on the difference file, or "pdflatex; bibtex; pdflatex; pdflatex" for files requiring bibtex. Note that this is not just a shortcut for setting configuration variable but also triggers some special behaviour.
- --show-config
- Show values of configuration variables.
- --help or -h
- Show help text
- --version
- Show version number
All other options are passed on to "latexdiff".

latexdiffPORTABILITY
latexdiff-vc uses external commands and is therefore dependent on the system architecture; it has been tested mainly on Unix-like systems. It also requires the a version control system and latex to be installed on the system to make use of all features. Modules from Perl 5.8 or higher are required.BUG REPORTING
