Suggest you put your question in the calibre/Editor forum ==>> https://www.mobileread.com/forums/fo...play.php?f=262 Looks like you'd like an option to suppress highlighting of differences in markup, other folks might like the suppression of differences in content. Kovid is the best person to answer that question. BR |

The alternative is to use calibre to convert both to text. Then do a text comparison of the results. Also, the third thing you marked is not a difference. That's a unicode character - probably an emdash. The calibre editor marks unicode characters them in yellow to make it easy to see. The differences are on the lines that have the blue background. The grey background is to give some context around the changes. |

The only use that came to my mind was checking competing versions of a public-domain book on Amazon.com. I could use such a feature for competing versions of À la recherche du temps perdu for example. |

The convert to text worked very well. I converted to text and then plopped them into Diffchecker and the differences were very apparent. |

Okay, here's what I found that really worked for me. Going with David's idea of epub>txt and then comparing.
For the conversion from epub to txt I used this online converter: www.epubconverter.com/epub-to-txt-converter/ Super fast and accurate. For comparison I like this online tool. https://text-compare.com/ Super precise and it has a 'next change' option (in between the compared texts) which really helps with a huge bunch of text. The screenshot is kind of cluttered but you get the idea. |
