I have a latex documents which contains text in color. When I run

latexdiff old.tex new.tex > diff.tex

the diff.tex version do not contains the colors anymore. How can I keep the original color text in the diff version? How can I make the cancelled text appear in its original color? By default it appears in red.

Thanks beforehand!


Open the generated diff file, and look for the following lines, which latexdiff inserts in the bottom of the preamble just above \begin{document} \providecommand{\DIFadd}[1]{{\protect\color{blue}\uwave{#1}}} %DIF PREAMBLE \providecommand{\DIFdel}[1]{{\protect\color{red}\sout{#1}}} %DIF PREAMBLE Now simply delete \protect\color{blue} from the definition of \DIFadd and equivalently for \DIFdel and compile.

If this fixes it you can make this permanent by creating your own preamble file (copy/paste the orginal preamble additions by latexdiff into a separate file, make the edit above and save) and the -p option (long form --preamble-file ).
