Compare HTML files visually in Linux

I have two HTML files - call it file1.html and file2.html.Is there a
utility in Linux that I can use to visually compare the difference
between the two files.Please note that I need to display and examine
the difference in a Web browser like Mozilla. Otherwise I could have
used the simple 'diff' utility.

I know a utility called DiffnMerge exists in Windows , but is there
something similar for linux?

Please lemme know,

Nick

Not quite sure what you mean. Do you have in mind comparing a document
tree (DOM) or ESIS? And would you expect the difference to be
highlighted in, for example, different colours for diff's > vs < ?

If I knew what your windows utility did, then maybe I could say.

Unfortunately most of the so called "HTML-editors" offer only support for the basic HTML code editing (syntax highlighting and verification,...) What I need is a VISUAL editing tool (especially for cut & paste). Assume I have a given html page (with pictures, javascript and external CSS style sheet) maybe in a *.mht or separate files (for *.html, *.css, *.jpg). Now I want to load this html page into the editor, then visually (!!!)...

Hi, I'm trying to strip the html and other useless junk from a html page.. Id like to create something like an automated text editor, where it takes the keywords from a txt file and removes them from the html page (replace the words in the html page with blank space) I'm new to python and could use a little push in the right direction, any ideas on how to implement this? Thanks!

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
