-## Embedding
-
-Numbl scripts can be embedded in HTML and Markdown pages. See the [numbl-embed-example](https://magland.github.io/numbl-embed-example/) for usage and a [live demo](https://magland.github.io/numbl-embed-example/example1).

+ *   const session = await createNumblSession({ onOutput: console.log });
+ *   await session.execute("x = linspace(0, 2*pi, 100);");

  * The session runs in a worker numbl manages (inlined at build time — no
  * bundler worker support needed), with mip bootstrapped from its GitHub
  * release and installed packages persisted in IndexedDB across page loads.
  *
- * Not available in sessions: delaunay/convhull (qhull WASM is not loaded)
- * and non-uihtml figures (plot instructions other than uihtml are ignored).
+ * Figures are not rendered by the session itself: plot instructions are
+ * returned/surfaced for the host to render (numbl/graphics provides a React
+ * renderer). Not available in sessions: delaunay/convhull (qhull WASM is not
+ * loaded).
