what exactly differs inside these chunks.  Since eyeballing large pieces of
text is contrary to human nature, Ediff has a special command to help
reduce the risk of developing a cataract.

The above command compares regions within Ediff buffers.  This creates a
child Ediff session for comparing current Emacs regions in buffers A, B, or
C as follows:

@emph{If you are comparing 2 files or buffers:}
Ediff will ask you to select regions in buffers A and B.

@emph{If you are comparing 3 files or buffers simultaneously:} Ediff will

In other situations, the currently highlighted region might be big and you
might want to reconcile of them interactively.

All of this can be done with the above comand, @kbd{=}, which
compares regions within Ediff buffers.  Typing @kbd{=} creates a
child Ediff session for comparing regions in buffers A, B, or
C as follows.

First, you will be asked whether you want to compare the fine differences
between the currently highlighted buffers on a word-by-word basis. If you
accept, a child Ediff session will start using the currently highlighted
regions. Ediff will let you step over the differences word-wise.

If you reject the offer, you will be asked to select regions of your choice.

@emph{If you are comparing 2 files or buffers:}
Ediff will ask you to select regions in buffers A and B.

@emph{If you are comparing 3 files or buffers simultaneously:} Ediff will
