ServerTextControl works without a user interface, so its samples are mostly console applications and Web APIs: they load a document, change or analyze it and save the result. The online demos show the same operations with a viewer or editor for the result, and an interactive lab lets you change the code of a document and see the pages it produces. Most of the sample projects target the current version, 34.0, with the Core engine.

Online Demos

Example	What it shows	Where
Word formats	A DOCX document converted on the server to PDF, RTF or HTML	MS Word Formats
Markdown	Markdown loaded into an editable document and the edited document saved back as Markdown with `TXTextControl.Markdown.Core`	Markdown Import and Export
CSV to PDF	CSV data turned into a formatted, paginated table in a PDF document	CSV to PDF
Selections	Formatting text with the current selection compared with prepared `Selection` objects, with the pages rendered as SVG	Selection API
Paragraph formatting	Alignment, spacing, indents, frames and page breaks of paragraphs	Paragraph Format API
Styles	Paragraph styles created, applied, inherited and changed	Stylesheet API
Fields	Fields created, read, updated and removed	Application Fields API
Headers and footers	Headers and footers per section, first-page variants and page number fields	Headers and Footers API
Tables	Tables created, filled, formatted, resized and calculated	Tables API
Redaction	Confidential text replaced by redaction graphics in the Document Editor	Document Redaction

The demos of the Interactive Coding section are a guided lab: you change the C# code of the example and see the result, within a set of allowed members. The demos of document analysis, such as classification and sanitization, are listed in AI Examples.
