    3432=== Diff View ===
    35 Below the header is the main part of the changeset, the diff view.
    3633
    37 Each file is shown in a separate section, divided by a dashed line in the
    38 center. This is a '''side-by-side''' view showing only the portions of the file
    39 affected by this changeset.
     34Below the header is the main part of the changeset, the diff view. Each file is shown in a separate section, each of which will contain only the regions of the file that are affected by the changeset. There are two different styles of displaying the diffs: ''inline'' or ''side-by-side'' (you can switch between those styles using the preferences form):
    4035
    41 On the left hand side are the contents of the old version of the file, on the
    42 right side the new. To visualize the difference between the old and new
    43 version, each block of lines altered by the changeset has a colored
    44 background. The color reflect the change, and the meaning the same as in the
    45 header (see above).
     36 * The ''inline'' style shows the changed regions of a file underneath eachother. A region removed from the file will be colored red, an added region will be colored green. If a region was modified, the old version is displayed above the new version. Line numbers on the left side indicate the exact position of the change in both the old and the new version of the file.
     37 * The ''side-by-side'' style shows the old version of the left and the new version on the right (this will typically require more screen width than the inline style.) Added and removed regions will be colored in the same way as with the inline style (green and red, respectively), but modified regions will have a yellow background.
     38
     39In addition, various advanced options are available in the preferences form for adjusting the display of the diffs:
     40 * You can set how many lines are displayed before and after every change
     41 * You can toggle whether blank lines, case changes and white space changes are ignored, thereby letting you find the functional changes more quickly
