#50 new enhancement

Automatically diff actual and expected output in deftest-html

Description

Currently when unit tests that are defined with deftest-html macro fail, it's very hard to tell the difference between actual and expected HTML, especially if the output is long. It's usually necessary to invoke ediff-buffers in Emacs (or some other diff utility).

Automatically diffing actual and expected output and presenting the diff as a result of a failed test would significantly ease debugging. This could be done with CL-HTML-DIFF or CL-DIFFLIB library.

Suggested by Chaitanya:

Maybe the HTML strings should be converted to LHTML [1], and then we create an equality function like lhtml-equal-p to check for equality rather than simply equal?
