Tool candidate: https://github.com/davidar/pandiff

1. I pandiff both files and produce PDF
2. The PDF is ready to view.

I run into a problem with pandoc which should be solvable:

❯ npx pandiff -s origin.adoc 10-expression-language-FEEL.adoc -o diff.pdf
Unknown input format asciidoc
Error: 21

[barmac]

At https://pandoc.org/, it says that asciidoc is only a target format for the tool. That could explain why it doesn't work. Let's dig more.

More on above: jgm/pandoc#1456 Still not implemented.

I am trying out a three-step flow:

graph TD;
    asciidoc-->html;
    html-->pdf;

For some reason the pandiff command failed:

❯ npx pandiff origin.html 10-expression-language-FEEL.html -o diff.pdf
Error producing PDF.
! LaTeX Error: File `soul.sty' not found.

Type X to quit or <RETURN> to proceed,
or enter new name. (Default extension: sty)

Enter file name:
! Emergency stop.
<read *>

l.45 \fi

Error: 43

Gotta look into this later.

Commands I tried:

brew install basictex # required for pandiff on MacOS
asciidoctor origin.adoc 10-expression-language-FEEL.adoc
npx pandiff origin.html 10-expression-language-FEEL.html -o diff.pdf

[barmac]

Output of this command looks terrible:

npx pandiff origin.html 10-expression-language-FEEL.html -o diff.html

File needs to be renamed to diff.html:

diff.html.txt

Yes, just strike-through and underline is not very pretty. Also we would need to annotate, by which issue/PR a change has been made.
