If the last line of the user's file does not have an end of line marker
(e.g.)
Evo_indent fails.
It prints a message like:
ERROR not a c or d 814 1102 /tmp/WBL_evo_indent/dir_phpR4aqIx/demo_bug.c_0_0.diff \ No newline at end of file The cause is diff issues a warning (\ No newline at end of file) which causes evo_indent to stop. The original intention was to give the message to the user and expect them to correct the cause, i.e. repair their file. However the warning is buried amongst other text which appears to obscure it and make user repair unlikely. | 16 Jul 09 No newline at end of file explicily ignored. |

Red high lighting
may occur where there is no visible change.
Whilst red high lighting of differences is applied to changes which affect only spacing, usually the browser ignores it. This means differences which are only in spacing are only highlighted by their side effects on printing characters on the same line. This is because the red high lighting is applied to whole line when any part of it has changed. Where the files contains embedded carriage control codes and the differences is only in spacing before the ␍, the whole line is still high lighted but the only visible change is to the printing characters after the ␍, which are commonly displayed on the next line. Thus the red high lighting appears to be only on the next visible line, where there may not have been a change. | 1 Mar 09 dos2unix can remove ␍. |
