-
-   This is a flexible class for comparing pairs of sequences of any type, so long
-   as the sequence elements are :term:`hashable`.  The basic algorithm predates, and is a
-   little fancier than, an algorithm published in the late 1980's by Ratcliff and
-   Obershelp under the hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching."  The idea is to
-   find the longest contiguous matching subsequence that contains no "junk"
-   elements; these "junk" elements are ones that are uninteresting in some
-   sense, such as blank lines or whitespace.  (Handling junk is an
-   extension to the Ratcliff and Obershelp algorithm.) The same
-   idea is then applied recursively to the pieces of the sequences to the left and
-   to the right of the matching subsequence.  This does not yield minimal edit
-   sequences, but does tend to yield matches that "look right" to people.
-
-   **Timing:** The basic Ratcliff-Obershelp algorithm is cubic time in the worst
-   case and quadratic time in the expected case. :class:`SequenceMatcher` is
-   quadratic time for the worst case and has expected-case behavior dependent in a
-   complicated way on how many elements the sequences have in common; best case
-   time is linear.
-
-   **Junk**: :class:`SequenceMatcher` accepts an ``isjunk`` predicate and an
-   ``autojunk`` flag. Items that are considered as junk will not be considered
-   to find similar content blocks. This can produce better results for humans
-   (typically breaking on whitespace) and faster (because it reduces the number
-   of possible combinations). But it can also cause pathological cases where
-   too many items considered junk cause an unexpectedly large (but correct)
-   diff result.
-   You should consider tuning them or turning them off depending on your data.
-   Moreover, only the second sequence is inspected for junk. This causes the diff
-   output to not be symmetrical.
-   When ``autojunk=True``, it will consider as junk the items that account for more
-   than 1% of the sequence, if it is at least 200 items long.
+This module provides classes and functions for comparing sequences.
+Most of them compare sequences of text lines (for example lists of strings,
+or :term:`file objects <file object>`) and
+produce :dfn:`diffs` -- reports on the differences.
+Diffs can be produced in in various formats, including HTML and context
+and unified diffs -- formats produced by tools like
+:manpage:`diff <diff(1)>` and :manpage:`git diff <git-diff(1)>`.
 
-   .. versionchanged:: 3.2
-      Added the *autojunk* parameter.
+Comparisons are done using a matching algorithm implemented in
+:class:`SequenceMatcher` -- a flexible class for comparing pairs of sequences
+of any type, not just text, so long as the sequence elements are
+:term:`hashable`.
+
+
+.. _difflib-junk:
+
+Junk heuristic
+--------------
+
+:mod:`!difflib` uses a :dfn:`junk` heuristic: some items are deemed to be
+:dfn:`junk`, and ignored when searching for similarities.
+Ideally, these are uninteresting or common items, such as blank lines
+or whitespace.
+
+This heuristic can speed the algorithm up (because it reduces the number of
+possible combinations) and it can produce results that are more understandable
+for humans (typically breaking on whitespace).
+But it can also cause pathological cases:
+
+- Inappropriately chosen junk items can cause an unexpectedly **large** (but
+  still correct) result.
+- The default heuristic is **asymmetric**: only the second sequence is
+  inspected when determining what is considered junk, so comparing A to B can
+  give different results than comparing B to A and reversing the result.
+
+By default, if the second input sequence is at least 200 items long, items
+that account for more than 1% it are considered *junk*.
+
+Depending on your data, you should consider turning this heuristic off
+(setting :class:`~difflib.SequenceMatcher`'s *autojunk* argument to  to ``False``)
+or tuning it (using the *isjunk* argument, perhaps to one of the
+:ref:`predefined functions <difflib-isjunk-functions>`).

+The :mod:`!difflib` algorithm
+-----------------------------
+
+The algorithm used in :class:`SequenceMatcher` predates, and is a little
+fancier than, an algorithm published in the late 1980s by Ratcliff and
+Obershelp under the hyperbolic name "gestalt pattern matching."
+The idea is to find the longest contiguous subsequence common to both inputs,
+then recursively handle the pieces of the sequences to the left and to the
+right of the matching subsequence.
