   A realy bad workaround:

   const content = content.split('\n')
   // my diff only have one file, so we extract file header by the first 3 lines
   const header = content.slice(0, 3).join('\n')
   // and extract inner diff
   let inner = content.slice(3).join('\n')
   for (let i = 0; i < 0x20; i += 1) {
     // append an unicode control picture after every invisiable character
     inner = inner.replaceAll(String.fromCharCode(i), String.fromCharCode(i + 0x2400) + String.fromCharCode(i))
   }
   console.log(header + '\n' + inner)

   

   Would be nice the have the replacement happen in diff2html, because not all diffs only contain one file, and parsing them before send them into diff2html would be re-inventing the wheel.

   👋 Sounds like an interesting feature to have if you are interested in contributing it.

   It could be replace some special chars and it could be enabled by a configuration.
