Hello, Great site & thank you for providing this.
Any chance of making it possible to copy the compared text (with the highlighted differences) into an email to share with someone else?
It would be useful if the highlight is 'transferable'.
Thank you

Hello, this feature is interesting, I added a "Copy to clipboard" button to copy all of the text with the differences highlighted in green.. Thank you!

Any chance you can add the option to provide the two texts to be compared as urlencoded strings via a GET parameter ?
