A digital misfit

Anyone know of a good diffing tool that’ll produce nice-ish html output? I’ve used BeyondCompare previously which is OK, but are there other similar tools? (this is intended to fit into a build farm system to create automated diffs of build logs, GUIs are certainly non-essential)

    How much do you want it to do?

    Four colours for {same|old only|new only|changed but present in both}?

    Different colours for {warnings in your own team’s .c files | warnings in other team’s .h files}?

      Just enough to highlight differences, really, the intention is a one-button automagic build system that whirrs away in the corner then checks the logs to see if everything built OK, letting you know if there was any problem…so the actual output isn’t particularly important as long as its easily readable in a browser.
