+## About
+
+String diffing w/ hiccup output for further processing, e.g. with [@thi.ng/hdom](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/hdom), [@thi.ng/hiccup](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/hiccup). Includes CLI util to generate HTML, with theme support and code folding.
+
+![screenshot of example output](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thi-ng/umbrella/develop/assets/hdiff/hdiff.png)
+
+### Status
+
+**ALPHA** - bleeding edge / work-in-progress
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+yarn add @thi.ng/hdiff
+```
+
+```html
+// ES module
+
+
+// UMD
+
+```
+
+Package sizes (gzipped, pre-treeshake): ESM: 1.56 KB / CJS: 1.63 KB / UMD: 1.68 KB
+
+### CLI installation & usage
+
+Current limitations:
+
+- output always written to stdout only
+- only single theme available for now (easy to add new ones, PRs welcome!)
+
+```bash
+npx @thi.ng/hdiff
+
+# any text files
+npx hdiff file-a.txt file-b.txt > diff.html
+
+# git revisions for given file (in local repo)
+# rev can be any commit-ish ID understood by git (sha1, tag, etc.)
+npx hdiff rel-file-path rev1 rev2 > diff.html
+
+# example
+npx hdiff packages/webgl/src/shader.ts develop~500 HEAD > diff.html
+```
+

+
+## API
+
+[Generated API docs](https://docs.thi.ng/umbrella/hdiff/)
+
+### computeDiff()
+
+Signature: `computeDiff(a: string, b: string) => any[]`
+
+Takes two strings and performs line-based diff, then formats result as
+tree of HTML elements in
+[@thi.ng/hiccup](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/hiccup)
+format.
+
+The generated format only uses the following data attributes:
+
+- `data-diff`: diff status for each `code` line (`"+"`, `"-"` or `" "`)
+- `data-lnum`: formatted line number for each `code` line
+- `data-fold`: indicates folded `pre`-block
+- `data-fold-range`: line number range string
+
+### generateHtml()
+
+Signature: `generateHtml(header: any[], body: any[], theme: Theme) => string`
+
+Takes two hiccup trees for header and body and an optional theme.
+Compiles theme into CSS, serializes hiccup trees and returns complete
+HTML document as string.
+
+### compileTheme()
+
+Signature: `compileTheme(theme: Theme) => string`
+
+Compiles a theme config into a complete CSS stylesheet string (using
+[@thi.ng/hiccup-css](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/hiccup-css)).

+
+${pkg.size}
+
+### CLI installation & usage
+
+Current limitations:
+
+- output always written to stdout only
+- only single theme available for now (easy to add new ones, PRs welcome!)
+
+```bash
+npx @thi.ng/hdiff
+
+# any text files
+npx hdiff file-a.txt file-b.txt > diff.html
+
+# git revisions for given file (in local repo)
+# rev can be any commit-ish ID understood by git (sha1, tag, etc.)
+npx hdiff rel-file-path rev1 rev2 > diff.html
+
+# example
+npx hdiff packages/webgl/src/shader.ts develop~500 HEAD > diff.html
+```

+
+### computeDiff()
+
+Signature: `computeDiff(a: string, b: string) => any[]`
+
+Takes two strings and performs line-based diff, then formats result as
+tree of HTML elements in
+[@thi.ng/hiccup](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/hiccup)
+format.
+
+The generated format only uses the following data attributes:
+
+- `data-diff`: diff status for each `code` line (`"+"`, `"-"` or `" "`)
+- `data-lnum`: formatted line number for each `code` line
+- `data-fold`: indicates folded `pre`-block
+- `data-fold-range`: line number range string
+
+### generateHtml()
+
+Signature: `generateHtml(header: any[], body: any[], theme: Theme) => string`
+
+Takes two hiccup trees for header and body and an optional theme.
+Compiles theme into CSS, serializes hiccup trees and returns complete
+HTML document as string.
+
+### compileTheme()
+
+Signature: `compileTheme(theme: Theme) => string`
+
+Compiles a theme config into a complete CSS stylesheet string (using
+[@thi.ng/hiccup-css](https://github.com/thi-ng/umbrella/tree/develop/packages/hiccup-css)).
