       Text::WordDiff::ANSIColor - ANSI colored formatting for Text::WordDiff

Synopsis

           use Text::WordDiff;

           my $diff = word_diff 'file1.txt', 'file2.txt';
           my $diff = word_diff \$string1,   \$string2,   { STYLE => 'ANSIColor' };
           my $diff = word_diff \*FH1,       \*FH2;       \%options;
           my $diff = word_diff \&reader1,   \&reader2;
           my $diff = word_diff \@records1,  \@records2;

           # May also mix input types:
           my $diff = word_diff \@records1,  'file_B.txt';

Description

       This class subclasses Text::WordDiff::Base to provide a formatting class for
       Text::WordDiff that uses ANSI-standard terminal escape sequences to highlight deleted and
       inserted text. This formatting class is the default class used by Text::WordDiff; see its
       documentation for details on its interface. This class should never be used directly.

       Text::WordDiff::ANSIColor formats word diffs for viewing in an ANSI-standard terminal
       session. The diff content is highlighted as follows:

       Deletes
           Deleted words will display in bold-faced red. The ANSI standard for strikethrough is
           also used, but since it is not supported by most terminals, likely will not show up.

       Inserts
           Inserted words will display in bold-faced, underlined green.

       All other content is simply returned.
