What steps will reproduce the problem?
var context = "It's easy as pie to use Mathjax. You just need to study and
remember how to use $$ and $$$. As you can see, it's not that hard. So, let's
try something a bit more complicated.\nHere was a line break with two spaces.
Not that hard, right, grandpa?";
var anchorText = "just need to study and remember how to use $$ and";
var dmp = new diff_match_patch();
dmp.Match_MaxBits = 100;
var offset = dmp.match_main(context, anchorText, 60);
// offset = 69
// meaning: the match starts with "how to use $$ and $$$. As you can see,"
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I think offset should be 37, since that'll result in a perfect match. I also
can't figure out a way to change Distance or Threshold parameters to cause that
to happen. The only thing that works is changing the guess parameter ("60") to
be smaller / closer to "37", but I unfortunately don't have that information
for a generic case.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
JavaScript; latest version
