For comparing the source of two latex files (as opposed to producing a
dvi/pdf etc which shows the differences) I find the emacs ediff-files
command very useful.
In the case where line breaks have changed, I use
ediff-regions-wordwise, or the following wrapper:
(defun find-whole (f1)
(find-file f1)
(mark-whole-buffer)
(current-buffer))
(defun eword-files (f1 f2)
"Find files, mark whole buffers, and run ediff-regions-wordwise
on them."
(interactive "fFirst file: \nfSecond file:")
(ediff-regions-wordwise (find-whole f1)
(find-whole f2)))
