Inputs
| ID | Name | Description | Type |

| Input censored text | #main/Input censored text | Upload the censored text containing replacement characters like ‘×’. |
|
| Input uncensored text | #main/Input uncensored text | Upload the uncensored text without replacement characters. |

Steps
| ID | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Preprocessing of censored text | This step uses Regular Expressions to delete all empty spaces (\s) and show only one character per line (\1\n). The result is a cleaned and reformatted text showing only one character per line. toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/text_processing/tp_replace_in_line/9.5+galaxy3 |
| 3 | Preprocessing of uncensored text | This step uses Regular Expressions to delete all empty spaces (\s) and show only one character per line (\1\n). The result is a cleaned and reformatted text showing only one character per line. toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/text_processing/tp_replace_in_line/9.5+galaxy3 |
| 4 | Comparison with diff - user version | The diff tool compares the two cleaned texts. This version (HTML version) creates an HTML file, which colour codes differences as additions (green) or extractions (red) when comparing the texts. toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/diff/diff/3.10+galaxy1 |
| 5 | Comparison with diff - computer version | The diff tool compares the two cleaned texts. This version of the output (raw output) is used for the further steps of the analysis. It is less intuitive for users. Therefore, the second diff below includes a more visual version of the output (HTML). toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/diff/diff/3.10+galaxy1 |
| 6 | Select only censored lines | This step selects all lines from the diff file that contain the censorship symbol ×. Grep1 |
| 7 | Compute | This step unifies the formatting and adds potentially missing columns, should lines extracted before coming up empty in the second text. This ensures the proper number of columns and allows the smooth running of the next steps. toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/devteam/column_maker/Add_a_column1/2.1+galaxy0 |
| 8 | Cut | This step selects only column 9, which contains the uncensored characters from text two. The result is only one column with different rows of Chinese characters. This step allows scaling words by frequency the word cloud in the next step. meaning characters that appear more often appear bigger, making the results evident at first sight. Cut1 |
| 9 | Datamash | This step sums up how often which character appeared in the table before. toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/iuc/datamash_ops/datamash_ops/1.9+galaxy0 |
| 10 | Generate a word cloud | This step shows, which characters were censored in the first text. The bigger the word, the more often it appeared in the text. toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/wordcloud/wordcloud/1.9.6+galaxy0 |
| 11 | Sort | Sorts the quantified results from those appearing most to those appearing least. toolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/repos/bgruening/text_processing/tp_sort_header_tool/9.5+galaxy3 |

The Galaxy Training Network (GTN) is a collection of hands-on tutorials that are designed to be interactive and are built around Galaxy.
These tutorials can be used for learning and teaching how to use Galaxy for general data analysis, as well as a wide array of hands-on tutorials covering specific domains such as assembly, RNA-Seq analysis, deep learning, climate analysis, and more!
