this is all very cool, but what it does sorely miss is usage examples.

it must be obvious for its creators, but presents quite a wall of features for others to join in.




There is a "starter project" with self-documenting examples that can be created from the Sublime Text command palette: https://urtext.co/setup/starter-project/

We can make some more example projects available, will do it shortly. Thanks for the suggestion.


i'd like to see examples before i install something.


This was helpful, thank you. We replaced the video on the homepage with some inline examples of at least syntax, and will soon post some examples of "real world" use.

Curious, how important would it be to you that the examples be readable with syntax highlighting and full tabbing/formatting in the browser? It is somewhat complicated to accomplish this and; present examples are mostly using manual inline styling.

Would examples projects on Github be helpful? It presents the same problem for syntax highlighting.


i think having examples at all is much more important than worrying about syntax highlighting. example projects on github or anywhere else would also be great. the format would probably even lend itself to use the explanations as your example text.
