Determine differences between two LaTeX files. More information: <https://ctan.org/pkg/latexdiff>.

  • Determine changes between different versions of a LaTeX file (the resulting LaTeX file can be compiled to show differences underlined):
    latexdiff old.tex new.tex > diff.tex
  • Determine changes between different versions of a LaTeX file by highlighting differences in boldface:
    latexdiff --type=BOLD old.tex new.tex > diff.tex
  • Determine changes between different versions of a LaTeX file, and display minor changes in equations with both added and deleted graphics:
    latexdiff --math-markup=fine --graphics-markup=both old.tex new.tex > diff.tex
