the procedure is much easier if you save the page as text instead of the =
original HTML format. You can directly feed this page into patch, the mai=

junk will be ignored:
patch tries to skip any leading garbage, apply the diff, and
then skip any trailing garbage. Thus you could feed an
article or message containing a diff listing to patch, and
it should work. =
