How to use the Examples in these Tutorials

These tutorials provide interactive examples to encourage exploration and experimentation.

Clicking on any of the examples will use psv in the background to reformat the text in the editor.

You are encouraged to edit the texts in these panels and see what psv does in different situations.

Example Editors

Examples are presented in a simple text editor, like this one:

Pet Names: |pet|name | - | dog|grimmace | cat|wally

Each editor provides the following interactions:

Button Shortcut Action
ctrl-enter reformat the table(s) in the editor
copy the contents of the editor into your copy buffer
show or hide additional options that change psv's behaviour
reset the editor to its initial state
return the editor to the most recent state
ctrl-u move backwards through the editor's undo history
ctrl-r move forward through the editor's undo history
use the slider to move back and forward through the editor's undo history
Some editors also have an "Animation" panel, consisting of a start/stop button and a slider that can be used to change the animation speed.
Animated demos stop automatically after cycling through all of their states 3 times.
