+dwdiff is a front-end for the diff program that operates at the word level
+instead of the line level. It is different from wdiff in that it allows the
+user to specify what should be considered whitespace, and in that it takes an
+optional list of characters that should be considered delimiters. Delimiters
+are single characters that are treated as if they are words, even when there
+is no whitespace separating them from preceding words or delimiters. dwdiff
+is mostly commandline compatible with wdiff. Only the --autopager, --terminal
+and --avoid-wraps options are not supported.
+
+The default output from dwdiff is the new text, with the deleted and inserted
+parts annotated with markers. Command line options are available to change
+both what is printed, and the markers.
