> using "gq<motion>" to "reflow" the text according to your 'textwidth' (or 'wrapmargin' setting, something like a ludicrously small "textwidth=17" in this example). A traditional diff (such as "diff" or Vim's diffing) would tell you that *all three* lines of that first paragraph changed. OOTH, the prose-author likely only wants to know that the word "keen" was inserted (ignoring the reflowing changes).

I think they did. These are the only lines in my .vimrc that relate to margins:
set linebreak
autocmd Filetype txt set textwidth=0
I'm taking it that I've got flowing text and that diff will work for me.
