I created 2 files (below) and compared them with difflib.make_file.
In the HTML file generated, why do lines 1-3 show the individual changes in each line, but line 4 shows it's being deleted from diff_text1 and added in diff_text2?
(adding unnecessary detail to get past the detail/code ratio requirement.)
diff_text1:
The world is a big place.
The galaxy is a big place.
The planet is a big place.
This is in file1 and not file2.
diff_text2:
This world is a large place.
This galaxy is a large place.
This planet is a large place.
This is in file2 and not file1.
Code:
with open("diff_text1.txt", "r") as d1:
diff_text1 = d1.readlines()
with open("diff_text2.txt", "r") as d2:
diff_text2 = d2.readlines()
result4 = h.make_file(diff_text1, diff_text2)
print(result4)
