It fills the same social role for LaTeX authors that track changes fills in word processors. ### 项目历史 CTAN identifies latexdiff as a package for determining and marking up significant differences between LaTeX files, with Frederik J. Tilmann as maintainer and copyright beginning in 2004. The main script header likewise names F J Tilmann and points to CTAN and the GitHub repository. The project expanded beyond the core `latexdiff` script to include `latexrevise`, which can accept or reject changes, and `latexdiff-vc`, a wrapper for version-control systems. The `latexdiff-vc` script records support for systems such as CVS, RCS, SVN, Git, and Mercurial, with Git support appearing in its 1.0.1 history. The GitHub repository was created on 2014-06-17. CTAN lists the package in TeX Live and MiKTeX and records the 2026-01-02 package version date. ### 采用历史 latexdiff became a standard utility in academic and technical writing because journals, supervisors, and collaborators often request visible revisions, while LaTeX source files do not map naturally to word-processor track changes. CTAN, TeX Live, MiKTeX, Homebrew, Debian, MacPorts, and Ubuntu packaging made it easy to add to authoring workflows. The ecosystem around it includes wrapper scripts and front ends such as git-latexdiff, latexdiffr, latexdiffcite, and browser/WebAssembly interfaces, reflecting the same need across Git, R Markdown, BibTeX, and web-based workflows. ### 使用方式 The typical command compares an old and a new `.tex` file and emits a new LaTeX file with inserted and deleted text marked using standard LaTeX packages. Users then compile the generated file to inspect revisions, or use `latexrevise` and `latexdiff-vc` for accepting changes or comparing version-control revisions. ### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心 latexdiff is package-nerd significant because it is small, scriptable, and solves a workflow problem that version-control diffs do not solve for human reviewers: a compiled PDF showing semantic document changes. It is also a classic example of a package that glues together language tooling, version control, and publishing conventions without needing a GUI. ### 时间线 - 2004: Copyright range begins for the main latexdiff script. - 2005: latexdiff-vc copyright range begins. - 2014-06-17: GitHub repository created. - 2018-10-07: latexdiff-vc 1.3.0 records an `--only-changes` option. - 2026-01-02: CTAN package version date for latexdiff 1.4.0. ### Related projects - Related projects include latexrevise, latexdiff-vc, git-latexdiff, latexdiffr, latexdiffcite, latexchanges, TeX Live, MiKTeX, Git, Subversion, Mercurial, and Algorithm::Diff. ### 来源 - - - - - - ## 安全说明 narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger 风险:** 绿色 / 低 - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## 其他软件包管理器记录 - Debian apt - latexdiff - 1.3.2-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: latexdiff from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | utility to mark up significant differences between LaTeX files | https://www.ctan.org/pkg/latexdiff - Ubuntu apt - latexdiff - 1.3.2-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: latexdiff from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | utility to mark up significant differences between LaTeX files | https://www.ctan.org/pkg/latexdiff - MacPorts - latexdiff: normalized package name match | MacPorts ports tree: tex/latexdiff/Portfile from https://api.github.com/repos/macports/macports-ports/git/trees/master?recursive=1 ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
