 Controlling Side by Side Format
 -------------------------------
 
    The `-y' or `--side-by-side' option selects side by side format.
 Because side by side output lines contain two input lines, the output
 is wider than usual: normally 130 print columns, which can fit onto a
 traditional printer line.  You can set the width of the output with the
 `-W COLUMNS' or `--width=COLUMNS' option.  The output is split into two
 halves of equal width, separated by a small gutter to mark differences;
 the right half is aligned to a tab stop so that tabs line up.  Input
 lines that are too long to fit in half of an output line are truncated
 for output.
 
    The `--left-column' option prints only the left column of two common
 lines.  The `--suppress-common-lines' option suppresses common lines
 entirely.
