Is there anyway to compare the contents of .html files?

Hi Everyone,
I have my IE7 favorites backed up to a .html file, and my FireFox bookmarks backed up to a .html file also.
So would like to ask if there is anyway I can configure FC to compare both .html files so I can filter out the differences in which web-pages I saved in each .html back up ?
Thanks.

I think direct file comparison (e.g. with WinMerge or ExamDiff) can't solve this problem because IE and FF are writing different html-code. So you get a lot of differences in the code.

You only have to compare the browser-viewed content. So open the two html-files in a browser, copy the content to separate text-files, sort the text-files by alphabet and then do a file comparison.

WinMerge or ExamDiff can be defined for use in FreeCommander at settings >>> programs >>> compare files.
