-Diff Viewer Tool Module
-
-This module provides a comprehensive text comparison tool with multiple diff algorithms
-and preprocessing options. It supports side-by-side comparison with synchronized scrolling
-and word-level highlighting of differences.
-
-Features:
-- Multiple comparison modes (ignore case, match case, ignore whitespace)
-- Side-by-side text comparison with synchronized scrolling
-- Word-level difference highlighting
-- Tab-based interface for multiple comparisons
-- Integration with optimized text widgets when available

+Diff Viewer Tool Module
+
+This module provides a comprehensive text comparison tool with multiple diff algorithms
+and preprocessing options. It supports side-by-side comparison with synchronized scrolling
+and word-level highlighting of differences.
+
+Features:
+- Multiple comparison modes (ignore case, match case, ignore whitespace)
+- Side-by-side text comparison with synchronized scrolling
+- Word-level difference highlighting
+- Tab-based interface for multiple comparisons
+- Integration with optimized text widgets when available
