Examples of Table Comparison Results
The examples included here show the results of comparing tables with DeltaXML's XML Compare for two-way changes and DeltaXML's XML Merge for three-way changes. The same table processing is used for DeltaXML's other 'Compare' and 'Merge' products.
Differences between CALS and HTML comparison results
In all examples the HTML and CALS comparison results have the same result structure and are therefore rendered using CALS table viewer.
Samples of CALS tables for XML Compare
Samples are available in a Bitbucket repo for comparing these examples as CALS tables in XML Compare. See https://bitbucket.org/deltaxml/cals-tables .
Example 1: Content only changed
Input A: | Input B: |
|---|---|
 |  |

Input A: | Input B: |
|---|---|
 |  |
Result - CALS/HTML table Processing Enabled | |
 |
Example 3: Column deleted
Input A: | Input B: |
|---|---|
 |  |
Result - CALS/HTML table Processing Enabled | |
 |
Example 4: Cell changed to span two columns (with adjacent cell deleted)
