The Font... button enables you to change
the font for all text files and folders content in the
Ellié Computing Merge application. The foreground colour
is not taken into account because Ellié Computing Merge
uses font colour to mark changed items.
Display line endings
Displays the line termination characters (Carriage
Return and/or Line Ending) at the end of each line. This option
is only a visual effet, and does not affect the content of the
text files. It may help you in understanding why files are
described as different if they have identical content: they may
have different line ending characters.
Display white spaces
Check this option if you want to see the white spaces and
tabulation characters.
Display line numbers
When this option is checked, you will see the line numbers
in the left margin, in front of each file viewer.
Display margin
When this option is checked, the bookmarks and conflict
markers are visible in front of a line. Uncheck it if you
want to hide the conflict markers, the conflicting areas
will still be highligthed in the text views. Note: the
bookmarks set on a difference area will not be visible. On
unchanged lines, the bookmarks are displayed by changing the
line background colour to match the bookmark.
Display ancestor when specified
When this option is checked, you will see the ancestor text
file in a third column, between the source and the target
views. This option applies only when the ancestor item is
specified in the comparison parameters.
