+# Links Example
+
+![](../../docs/images/links-example.png)
+
+This example shows you how you can wrap text in "inline" nodes to associate metadata, like an `href`, with a piece of text. This is how you'd add links to Slate, but it's also how you might add hashtags, at-mentions, and many more inline features!
+
+Check out the [Examples readme](..) to see how to run it!
