Yes of course. I want ^;;; or ^# to act as whitespace in this case. It is possible that those variables (which are in the Customization section of the ediff manual) are insufficient to do what I want here. It is possible that I need a new ediff-forward-word-function (which is also in that section). One issue is that I want only ^;;; or ^# to be treated as whitespace. Not ;;; or # in the middle of text. It is really simple. I don't see why I should have to look at highlighted spurious things when all I did was fill a paragraph. > You say that `;;;' is highlighted as different.

But if you had an unfilled paragraph there instead of a single line, and ediffed the filled and unfilled versions, you might understand. > 2. They are buffer-local. What ediff hook works best here?
