latexdiffcite 1.0.6

Wrapper around latexdiff to make citations diff properly

What is latexdiffcite?

latexdiffcite is a wrapper around latexdiff to make citations diff properly:

latexdiffcite is a wrapper around latexdiff which, before calling latexdiff, replaces (in temporary files!) citation commands such as \cite{...} with written-out formatted references. It does this by looking up references in a corresponding .bib file or .bbl file and formatting them according to a user-specifiable configuration. latexdiff will then properly mark changes in the citations. The citation format can be heavily customized to match what you are already getting from LaTeX/BibTeX.

Quick start

latexdiff is required, but you of course already have that installed and working, right? :-)

Install with pip:

pip install latexdiffcite

To compare two .tex files on disk, use the file subcommand like this:

latexdiffcite file FILE_OLD FILE_NEW

To compare two revisions (commit hash, tag, branch, etc.) of a .tex file in a git repository, use the git subcommand like this:

latexdiffcite git FILE REV_OLD [REV_NEW] [FILE_NEW]

• REV_OLD and REV_NEW can be commit hashes, tags, branches, etc.

• REV_NEW is optional, and defaults to HEAD (the latest committed version).

• FILE_NEW is optional, and is used when the new filename/path is different than the old
