Any suggestions how to do this in emacs orgmode? Yes I know you can manually do tables, and you could call unix diff, but something that does it automatically from the individual text versions with a tabular output - old version left, new version right column, with similar sections or code pieces matching in the same row would be cool. As a last resort, even outside orgmode. :) Martin
