You mean a diff which works at whole paragraph level instead of
at line level, as if the whole paragraph were a big honkin' line?
The "word processors" seem to "see" texts in this way. With
Emacs we are in a somewhat schizophrenic spot. You might try
actually having one-line paragraphs and use visual-line mode
with word wrapping; be warned that many an Emacs algorithm
doesn't like extremely long lines (they work, but they let
you notice their distaste :-)
