Manuscript Revision using LaTeXdiff | Track Changes and Highlight Revision in LaTeX Documents |

- Latexdiff is a Perl script for visual mark up and revision of significant differences between two LATEX files. To compare two documents simply run latexdiff in the command line like so:
latexdiff old.tex revised.tex left-angled-bracket diff.tex
where old.tex and revised.tex are original and changed versions of your document, and diff.tex is where the markup is stored. The above command provides latexdiff with the two comparison files and the filename for the resulting marked .tex file. If the two input files you provide are valid .tex files, the resulting diff.tex will also be a .tex file. This marked file can now be compiled with your choice of TeX compiler (pdfLaTeX etc.). Any removed words are crossed out with a single line and colored red, whereas any added words are underlined with a squiggle and colored blue.

@@israelaugustodragone most welcome
Thank you so much Chandra. I owe you one!
Most welcome.
Your videos are very helpful.. keep up the good work, chandrahas sir. !
Sure and thanks for the appreciation.
cannot install perl
I install but after putting diff.tex the error is "Sorry, but latexdiff did not succeed for the following reason:
MiKTeX could not find the script engine 'perl.exe' which is required to execute 'latexdiff'."
Thank you.
Most welcome.
Dear Chandra Has, This video is really very helpful. I have used the same method mentioned in this video. This method highlights the changes made in a paper. Now I want to use this latex diff method in my thesis. But this method did not highlight the changes in my thesis's revised file. Can you help me how to solve this problem?
It is very helpful, thanks sir!
Most welcome.
Latexdiff files were there. I remove them to do what you did now they are disappeared and after installing I cannot see them
got it working but it won't compile :/
Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup. } errors everywhere...doesn't seem to like the citation changes I've made
There is some syntax to update the citation. Soon I will try to make a video on possible errors and their solutions with latexdiff.
So messy, but in the end it's not your fault. Latex is awesome, but mindbending.
I tried to make it simple but unfortunately, maybe, I could not.
Thank you so much!!
Most welcome.
Is this working with MDPI template?
Sir latex me upper video banate rahiye yeh hamare liye latex learn karne ke liye badiya hai possible ho to Hindi mai banaye is's kafi logo ko suvidha hogi
Ji bilkul latex ki video barabar aati rahengi. Bahut log dusre country se bhi follow karte hai isiliye hindi me nahi banata lekin kuch video try karunga hindi me upload karne ka.
@@chandrahashbti Ok sir. No problem and keep it up.
Dear sir while I'm running my both the tex with diff it is showing that emergency stop what it means. Please tel me.
No idea, really sorry.
Dear Chandra Has I am using your fancylatex template for my Ph.D. thesis but I cannot track the changes with the latexdiff. The diff.tex is generated but the colors with the changes don't. Can you please help me? Love your work
Latexdiff compares two tex files. In thesis template, apart form main tex file, there are several tex files which are included in main tex. For comparing, you have to make a single large tex file.
@@chandrahashbti Thank you. All the best
Hi Chandra,
I have a question, I have used the same method to generate the Diff.tex file, but when I run this file, it is taking so long (5 hours) that I give up and cancel the run. Do you have any idea of what can be the issue
Latexdiff has some serious issue with citations and maths. I am trying to minimize all kinds of errors. Once I will get success, will upload a video on this matter.
Dear Chandra, your videos are very useful. I’m trying to use LaTeXdiff but I’m having this error “The script engine could not be found”. I think the error is related with the path of perl.exe but I don’t know how to solve it. Do you have any idea?
In general, we don't need to set any path for perl. It is installed in C drive. Have you installed latexdiff as per given the instructions in this video?
Download Perl link is not working
Please download from the internet given link in the description box is not working.
Dear Chandra, is it possible for you to share your email id. I am facing a problem with Latexdiff while compiling the two tex. files. mainly in the tables. Can you please help me?
Hi Chandra, thank you for the video, it is very useful, I do have a question however.
I am trying to use latexdiff on a journal template where \title{} and \abstract{} occur before \begin{document}.
latexdiff doesn't work before \begin{document}, is there a way of tracking these changes?
You can track change using only pdfs
