- left
- SnapshotSpan
The left span. In most cases this is from an "old" snapshot.
- right
- SnapshotSpan
The right span. In most cases this is from a "new" snapshot.
- differenceOptions
- StringDifferenceOptions
The options to use.
Returns
A hierarchical collection of differences.

- left
- SnapshotSpan
The left span. In most cases this is from an "old" snapshot.
- right
- SnapshotSpan
The right span. In most cases this is from a "new" snapshot.
- differenceOptions
- StringDifferenceOptions
The options to use.
- getLineTextCallback
- Func<ITextSnapshotLine,String>
A callback for retrieving the text of snapshot lines (when performing differencing at the line level) that can optionally filter/modify the text, as long as it doesn't introduce line breaks (i.e. split the given line into multiple lines).
Returns
A hierarchical collection of differences.
Remarks
The getLineTextCallback can be used for things like ignoring all intraline whitespace or case during line differencing.
Also, the getLineTextCallback is only used for line-level differencing. If word/character differencing is requested, the implementation should use the original snapshot text directly, as there is no guaranteed way to map from words in a filtered line back to the original line.
The getLineTextCallback will be called only for full lines that intersect each requested SnapshotSpan. If a line only partially intersects the given left or right span, then the intersection of the line and the span is used directly.
