MODERATORS
After reading this, I'm thinking whether converting the PDFs to markdown and diffing them with a text difftool could work.
If you go this route, you may want to test with different diff algorithms. Git has multiple too, but I don't remember right now which I found to be the best
Thanks for the tip!
Now that I'm at my computer, I was able to find the diff alg I was thinking about: it's
histogram.Here's an issue from gitea about when they changed the default git diff alg to this one: https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/issues/23255
And here's an article I have found earlier about some of the available git diff algorithms, and when they are too be used: https://luppeng.wordpress.com/2020/10/10/when-to-use-each-of-the-git-diff-algorithms/
thanks very much for sharing ☘️
