Research direction
Examine the main rendering module (likely src/diff2html.js or similar) to understand how diff lines are currently rendered. Look for a way to add a UI toggle that switches between unified and split views. Consider using GitHub's implementation as a reference. Check if there are any existing templates or configuration for diff types.
