Re: Non changed HTML gets modified only when DiFF enabled

[Baruch Even]

One of the problems with webdiff is that it mangles the file beyond
recognition. Normally there is no problem since it's HTML and for most
of HTML spaces are not important. In some cases, yours and <pre> tags,
it matters.

Unfortunately, there is no solution in sight. You could try using the
HTML::Diff engine instead.
