-Checkmark is a library for either checking that code in markdown files
-matches content in files, or to automatically update it.
+Checkmark helps you keep your markdown code snippets up to date!
+You can either check that snippets match sources,
+or automatically update them.
 
-## Example
+A source (of truth) can be one of the following:
+* An entire file (any language)
+* A full Gleam function definition
+* A Gleam function body
+* A Gleam type definition
 
-```sh
+A target to check or update can be:
+* A code snippet in a markdown file
+* A markdown code snippet in a Gleam comment
+
+All types of sources and targets can be freely mixed and matched.
+
+## Examples
+
+Add the dependencies required by the example:
+
+```sh deps
 gleam add --dev checkmark simplifile envoy
 ```
 
-```gleam
+Update a markdown file:
+
+```gleam markdown
 import checkmark
 import envoy
 import simplifile
 
 pub fn example_test() {
-  assert checkmark.new(simplifile.read, simplifile.write)
+  let checker = checkmark.new(simplifile.read, simplifile.write)
+
+  let assert Ok(snippets) =
+    checkmark.load_snippet_source(checker, "./test/doc_snippets_test.gleam")
+

+Update comments in code:

+let checker = checkmark.new(simplifile.read, simplifile.write)
+

 These examples are, in fact, kept up to date and checked using checkmark!
