qdiff: Option to word wrap

[Joseph Wakeling]

Feature request posted as a bug here as per instructions from Alexander Belchenko.

I use bzr not just for code but also for documents in LaTeX, HTML and other markup languages. QBzr support for this would be greatly improved if the side-by-side diff included an option for word wrap.

Thanks! :-)

I think for this feature we need line numbers for diff implemented first: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qbzr/+bug/304362

What's the thinking behind that need? If you look at e.g. Wikipedia diffs you can see that to navigate word-wrapped _text_ (as opposed to code) is easy even without line numbers.

I do not think line numbers are needed. If one wants a visual notification that the lines have been wrapped, one can use arrows in the right "fringe" (see attached screenshot of Emacs).
