Does it provides only chars diff?

The html output does highlighting of character differences between lines (much like github's diffs) though it doesn't do a pure character diff mode like you describe. I'd definitely be interested in a pull request that adds this functionality (probably as a new formatter).

Is this like git diff --color-words=.?

More or less. There's a few examples of the output from way back at http://www.drasticcode.com/2010/12/9/making-diffy-a-little-less-creative.

I'm also interested in this functionality, as my use case is diffing long paragraphs of soft-wrapped text, rather than short lines of code.
