I am interested only in the INSERTED/DELETED/CHANGED lines, not in the EQUAL lines

Let me suppose that I have a diff result as follows:

I will be interest in the INSERTED, DELETED, CHANGED lines, but not in the EQUAL lines.

Let me assume that I have a diff result of 1500 lines, in which 90% of lines are EQUAL. The diff result will be difficult to look through --- I need to scroll the view a lot of times. I would rather like the EQUAL lines are trimmed of so that I can easily see the INSERTED, DELETE, CHANGED lines and understand them.

I have developed a new java library:

java-diff-report

which support the "compact" format of diff report, as described at

kazurayam/java-diff-report#6

Please note that in the line 6 and 12 there is a gap where the equal lines are trimmed off.

The java-diff-report library provides a set of Java classes com.kazurayam.difflib.text.Differ and others. These classes can be used by the materialstore. Then the materialstore's text reports can reuse the feature of "compact" format.
