I'm looking for a "diff to html" program, which would generate a static html page from a given diff/patch file.
I've googled for it of course, but apart from some scripts I've found there's no "real project" (e.g. no package in Debian/Ubuntu).
Have I missed something? Can you recommend anything?
You can use diff2html.py that is able to create a side-by-side diff in a static html page, from an unified diff input. The script is written in python.
cat foo.diff | python diff2html.py > foo.html
pygments has syntax highlighting for diff (and for lots of other languages), and can be used as a library or a command-line program. Is that the sort of thing you're looking for? If not please clarify the question...
Something along the lines of:
vim test.diff -c TOhtml -c ":saveas test.html" -c ":q" -c ":q"
works well, and you can change the color-scheme of the diff by changing the color scheme in vi.
how about Text-Diff-HTML, difflib.HtmlDiff, CSDiff?
Have you tried http://prettydiff.com/ as it ignores differences in white space and comments.

There's also 2html in Vim, which works very well, and it's built-in: it takes a file that Vim knows how to highlight its syntax, and creates an HTML with the correct formatting. To use it, just open the wanted file with Vim, and source the 2html script. It will open the converted file in a new buffer, which can be saved. Here:
vim example.diff
and then in Vim,
:so /usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/2html.vim
:wqa
I use htmlize in Emacs. Doesn't come with Emacs, and assumes you're using Emacs. Relies on the syntax highlighting of Emacs's Diff mode. Only good for doing one file at a time. Does the right thing for me.
The best I've found that produces nice side-by-side diffs is this script:
http://tools.ietf.org/tools/rfcdiff/
Although it's designed to be used on RFCs it works with any text file.
This project also has nice output, but I'm not sure if it can be used without subversion: http://code.google.com/p/coderev/
I found coderev, demo looks nice
