## Abstract

Methods and systems of displaying substring pairs where visual demarcations delineate adjacent substring pairs from each other. The method may comprise receiving a plurality of the primary substrings, a plurality of the secondary substrings, and a plurality of visual demarcations, displaying, on an electronic display, the primary substrings and the secondary substrings arranged into substring pairs, and one of the visual demarcations in each of the correspondence areas. Additional desired visual effects may be achieved through the use of specific demarcations, demarcation placements, and substring modifications.
