White +space is ignored except to separate other objects. Spiff maintains +tolerances below which differences between two floating point numbers +are ignored. Differences in floating point notation (such as 3.4 3.40 +and 3.4e01) are treated as unimportant. User specified delimited +strings (i.e. comments) can also be ignored. Inside other user +specified delimited strings (i.e. quoted strings) whitespace can be +significant. |
