Overview

This experimental extension tries to convert unreadable binary content to plain text when displaying, so that you can see decent diff of binary files.

Currently supports the following conversions:

• textful.encoding: convert character encoding

• textful.msexcel: Microsoft Excel (*.xls), requires pyExcelerator

• textful.pipe: filter by external command, e.g. catdoc for Microsoft Word (*.doc)

This extension is dangerous because it mangles fctx.data. Though it tries not to execute destructive function with the wrapped fctx.data, it may lead the repository to inconsistent state.

Configuration

Configure your .hgrc to enable the extension by adding following lines:

[extensions]
