Compare Markdown documents in Python

GroupDocs.Comparison for Python via .NET provides a simple way to compare Markdown documents and highlight differences in content, formatting, and structure. This is especially useful for developers working with versioned documentation, README files, or technical writing where precise change detection is needed.

With the API, you can:

  • Compare two or more Markdown (.md) files
  • Highlight insertions, deletions, and modifications
  • Export results to a single Markdown file or another supported format

How to compare Markdown files in Python

To compare Markdown documents, follow these steps:

  1. Create an instance of the Comparer class and load the source Markdown file.
  2. Add one or more target Markdown files for comparison.
  3. Call the compare() method and provide the path for the result file.

Example: Compare Markdown documents

import groupdocs.comparison as gc

source_path = "source.md"
target_path = "target.md"
result_path = "result.md"

# Initialize the comparer with the source Markdown document
with gc.Comparer(source_path) as comparer:

    # Add the target Markdown document
    comparer.add(target_path)

    # Compare and save the results
    comparer.compare(result_path)
