+### How Does It Work?
+
+Difftastic treats structural diffing as a graph problem, and uses
+Dijkstra's algorithm.
+
+My [blog
+post](https://www.wilfred.me.uk/blog/2022/09/06/difftastic-the-fantastic-diff/)
+describes the design, and there is also an [internals section in the
+manual](https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/diffing.html).
