Allow override of default text in headers, etc

[gullevek]

Currently there is a fixed Old/New in the Side by Side.

it would be nice to define that via an option setting, eg

'header_text' => [
    'old' => '...',
    'new' => '...',
    'differences' => '...'
]

This would also free up language resource and move that to the user side where you could set whatever you want.

php-diff/example/demo_base.php

Lines 31 to 33 in 5eb2dab

	// renderer language: eng, cht, chs, jpn, ...
	// or an array which has the same keys with a language file
	'language' => 'eng',

or an array which has the same keys with a language file

This is basically what you are trying to do.

    'language' => [
	    'old' => '...',
	    'new' => '...',
	    'differences' => '...',
	],

Yes, this would also work, but this would be a more breaking change as you now would need to check if it is a string (lang) or an array. So I thought adding a second override array might be easier

This is not a breaking change and it's an existing feature.

I do see an issue that the user has to define all keys in that case. But I more prefer to make it into

'language' => [
    // base
    'eng',
    // override
    [
        'old' => '...',
        'new' => '...',
        'differences' => '...',
    ],
	// override override etc...
],

This might be documented elsewhere but I landed here while looking for this solution and found that the correct syntax is:

'language' => [
    'eng',
    [
        'old_version' => '...',
        'new_version' => '...',
        'differences' => '...',
     ]
]

Oh this makes so much more sense ... never thought about this.
