This is where you'll find the operations that can be performed on the source and target files.
The available functions are presented at the Operations menu.
Opens the Diff Options page.
Also, <oXygen/> offers you the complete diff solution:
two XML diff algorithms
XML Accurate works on small files and it is very precise.
XML Fast works on larger files but it is less precise than XML Accurate.
Syntax Aware for the file types known by <oXygen/>, it computes the differences taking into consideration the syntax of the documents.
three all-purpose algorithms:
Lines algorithm computes the differences at line level
Words algorithm computes the differences at word level
Characters algorithm computes the differences at character level
an automatic selection of the algorithm:
Auto selects the most appropriate algorithm, based on the files' content and size.
It provides quick access to the Diff preferences pane where you set Diff parameters that will be saved for the next time when you open the Compare Files dialog.
