Comparing “one, two, three” with “one, two, four” finds 2 shared lines, 1 removed line (three) and 1 added line (four).

This compares whole lines only. It does not highlight changed words inside a line, and line order is ignored when counting shared lines.

Does line order matter?

No. Lines are matched as sets, so reordered lines still count as shared.

Are blank lines compared?

No. Blank lines are ignored in both texts.
