It's common DP practice to represent table borders with | in the text version of a book. In HTML, borders can be created with CSS, so the pipe characters are usually removed. When comparing the two versions with ppcomp, this leads to sometimes hundreds of lines of diffs to look through, and finding any genuine diffs that need fixing is needle-in-haystack level of difficulty.
There are at least two genuine diffs in that report. Good luck. ;)
So: I'd really like to be able to run ppcomp with an option to ignore the pipe character, to make the output on table-heavy books like this one much shorter and much easier to review.
(Bonus points for also excluding sequences that look like --+----+-- or ==+====+==, but those occur much less frequently and aren't so much trouble to scroll past.)
