Feature Request: Ignore formating (i.e. ignore empty line)

[marque1968]

There is already the option to ignore spaces, but I would really like to ignore empty lines aswell.

I am now comparing my changes to pre-existing code. I have reformatted the code, so it has correct indentation and removed surples empty lines. Comparing the code, 80% of the compare changes are those empty lines. Therefore skipping through the whole code, with the chance to miss that line that has a . or ; at the start of it.

So ideally, ignoring all the formating (extra spaces, tabs, cr/lf), would help me out.

The closely related project comparePlus (alternative or successor) has a menu option to ignore empty lines – though I'm not sure it works as you'd like it to work.
