Example

Highlighting #selectorId element with example text in ng-template.

<ng-walkthrough
    id="wt-test"
    focusElementSelector="#selectorId"
    focusBackdrop="true"
    [contentTemplate]="template"
    closeButton="true">
    <ng-template #template>
        <p>
            Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...
        </p>
    </ng-template>
</ng-walkthrough>

Example of scenario with ng-walkthrough-flow:

<ng-walkthrough-flow #walkFlow
    id="wt-test-flow"
    focusBackdrop="true"
    focusHighlightAnimation="true"
    closeButton="true"
    closeAnywhere="false"
    showArrow="true"
    radius="auto"
    [texts]="frenchText">
    <ng-walkthrough
        id="wt-test1-flow"
        focusElementSelector="#test1"
        [contentText]="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...">
    </ng-walkthrough>
    <ng-walkthrough
        id="wt-test2-flow"
        focusElementSelector="#test2"
        [contentText]="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit...">
    </ng-walkthrough>
    <ng-walkthrough
        id="wt-test3-flow"
        focusElementSelector="#test3"
