jsTypingTutor - Source Code Documentation
This file is the JavaScript code for jsTypingTutor. This
project is intended to help users develop faster typing
by simply re-typing text. The sample text files that are
included are mainly computer code. Computer code is thought
to make fuller use of the keyboard. It is a simple matter
to add your own text to the HTML file and have any text
displayed.
