+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+dwdiff: dwdiff (word-level front-end for diff)
+dwdiff:
+dwdiff: dwdiff is a front-end for the diff program that operates at the word
+dwdiff: level instead of the line level. It is different from wdiff in that
+dwdiff: it allows the user to specify what should be considered whitespace,
+dwdiff: and in that it takes an optional list of characters that should
+dwdiff: be considered delimiters. Delimiters are single characters that
+dwdiff: are treated as if they are words, even when there is no whitespace
+dwdiff: separating them from preceding words or delimiters.
