Then follow the installation instructions, being sure to close all browser windows before you restart the browser (the last step of the installation). After restarting, type in the URL for the Transform Progam and start using it!

Press Start when you have input ready for Transform.
 
Input to the Transform Program consists of
  1. the verbatim text
  2. a blank line
  3. the parenthesized version of the text
  4. a blank line
You can either copy the input from some other place and paste it into the window that pops up, or you can type the input directly into the window. Click the button at the bottom of the window to Transform your input. The transformation will appear in the window. To copy the transformation, select the text you want to copy and hold down the Ctrl key and then press C. You can now paste it into any application (Word, Notepad, Wordpad, etc.) for printing.

Sample Input

Notice that the 2 samples are different parenthesizations of the same text. Different parenthesizations will produce different output, representing different interpretations of the text.
