Abstract
Distinguishing pattern differences from non-pattern differences. A set of differences is identified. The set comprises a plurality of differences between first and second versions of a document. A pattern is identified. The pattern explains a transformation from a first string in the first version of the document to a second string in the second version of the document. A subset of differences are identified. The subset comprises a plurality of differences, from among the set, which match the pattern. While presenting a user interface that visually highlights differences between the first and second versions of the document, a first visual treatment is applied to a first difference, based on the first difference being included in the subset. A second visual treatment is also applied to a second difference, based on the second difference being excluded from the subset. The second visual treatment is different than the first visual treatment.
