+
+This example shows you add a menu that appears hovering above the current selection as a user clicks around, where you can add formatting buttons. The menu is its own React component, completely separate from Slate, but the buttons in it are wired up to change the content in Slate's editor.

+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!

+This example shows you can add a very different concepts together: key commands, toolbars, and custom formatting, to get the functionality you'd expect from a rich text editor. Of course this is just the beginning, you can layer in whatever other behaviors you want!
