RibbonDiff — Whitespace Filters

The same file pair before and after enabling whitespace filtering.

What this example shows

This workflow starts with a noisy diff, enables the Whitespace control, and leaves only the meaningful content changes visible.

Files to use

• demo-files/ignore-whitespace/metrics-before.py and metrics-after.py
• demo-files/ignore-whitespace/dashboard-before.js and dashboard-after.js

Suggested steps

1. Open one of the file pairs with whitespace filtering off.
2. Pause on the noisy diff.
3. Turn the Whitespace control on.
4. Point to the remaining logic or wording change.
