+Coq can automatically highlight the differences between successive proof steps

+Coq can also highlight differences between proof steps shown in the :cmd:`Show Proof`

For example, the following screenshots of CoqIDE and coqtop show the application
of the same :tacn:`intros` tactic. The tactic creates two new hypotheses, highlighted in green.
The conclusion is entirely in pale green because although it’s changed, no tokens were added
