Description

Examples of errors:

changing "foo bar baz" to "foo bar! baz" currently registers as a removal of "bar" and insertion of "bar!", but a better diff would be just an insertion of "!".
changing "Section title" to "Section title 2" currently registers as a removal of "title" and insertion of "title 2", instead of an insertion of "2"
