Does anyone know of a diff tool that can ignore all white space and line breaks?

Ex:

File1.html
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Title</title>

File2.html
<html><head>
        <title>
            Title
        </title>

But when it comes to comparing:

File1.html
<html><head><title>Title</title>

File2.html
<html><head><title>Title</title>

diff
