The commands are\ninstructions for VHS to perform on its virtual terminal. For a list of all\npossible commands see [the command reference](#vhs-command-reference).\n\n```elixir\n# Where should we write the GIF?\nOutput demo.gif\n\n# Set up a 1200x600 terminal with 46px font.\nSet FontSize 46\nSet Width 1200\nSet Height 600\n\n# Type a command in the terminal.\nType \"echo \u0027Welcome to VHS!\u0027\"\n\n# Pause for dramatic effect...\nSleep 500ms\n\n# Run the command by pressing enter.\nEnter\n\n# Admire the output for a bit.\nSleep 5s\n```\n\nOnce you\u0027ve finished, save the file and feed it into VHS.\n\n```sh\nvhs demo.tape\n```\n\nAll done! You should see a new file called `demo.gif` (or whatever you named\nthe",
