<!--diff2html-css-->
<!--diff2html-js-ui-->

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', () => {
const targetElement = document.getElementById('diff');
const diff2htmlUi = new Diff2HtmlUI(targetElement);
//diff2html-fileListToggle
//diff2html-synchronisedScroll
//diff2html-highlightCode
});
</script>
