I really like the way this is set up with lengthy examples next to the explanatory text. I look forward to reading through it. Thanks!

In the meantime, mind a quick comment on the typography? The Palatino Linotype body text renders poorly on Windows. Italics are particularly hard to read.

I tried changing it to Georgia and it made a world of difference:

Great feedback - thanks. Georgia also works well on Mac, so I just shipped this as the default.
May I throw a word in? Copying the example source doesn't work properly; I can't select source code without the descriptive text on the left. Would be nice to have that ability.
Yep it's a bummer - this is discussed in a comment below.
Nice! Thanks for the quick update.
