+### Embedding the marimo playground
+
+For an easy way to embed marimo notebooks or applications, we recommend embedding the marimo playground. This feature uses `pymdownx.blocks` to embed marimo notebooks in your MkDocs documentation, creating iframes that render the marimo playground.
+
+````markdown
+/// marimo-embed
+    height: 400px
+    mode: run
+
+```python
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+    import numpy as np
+
+    x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
+    y = np.sin(x)
+
+    plt.figure(figsize=(8, 4))
+    plt.plot(x, y)
+    plt.title('Sine Wave')
+    plt.xlabel('x')
+    plt.ylabel('sin(x)')
+    plt.grid(True)
+    plt.gca()
+    return
+///
+````
+
+Available options for `marimo-embed`:
+
+- `height`: Named sizes (`small`, `medium`, `large`, `xlarge`, `xxlarge`) or custom pixel values (e.g. `500px`) (default: medium)
+- `mode`: read, edit (default: read)
+- `app_width`: wide, full, compact (default: wide)
+
+You can also embed marimo files directly:
+
+````markdown
+/// marimo-embed-file
+    filepath: path/to/your/file.py
+    height: 400px
+    mode: read
+    show_source: true
+///
+````
+
+Additional options for `marimo-embed-file`:
+
+- `filepath`: path to the marimo file to embed (required)
+- `show_source`: true, false (default: true) - whether to show the source code below the embed
+

+# Embedding marimo Notebooks with the Playground
+
+This guide covers the second approach to using marimo in your documentation: embedding full marimo notebooks using the marimo playground, [like in our own documentation](https://docs.marimo.io/api/inputs/button/). This approach is ideal when you want to:
+
+- Show complete, multi-cell notebooks
+- Allow users to edit and experiment with the code
+- Embed existing .py notebooks
+
+If you're looking for simpler, inline code examples, check out the [Quick Start](quick-start.md) guide's section on inline code.
+
+This feature uses `pymdownx.blocks` to embed marimo notebooks in your MkDocs documentation, creating iframes that render the marimo playground.
+
+## Setup
+
+To use the marimo playground, you need to install the `pymdown-extensions` package.
+
+```bash
+pip install mkdocs-marimo pymdown-extensions
+```
+
+## Basic Example
+
+Here's a simple example of embedding a marimo notebook using blocks:
+
+````markdown
+/// marimo-embed
+    height: 400px
+    mode: read
+    app_width: wide
+
+```python
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    import marimo as mo
+
+    name = mo.ui.text(placeholder="Enter your name", debounce=False)
+    name
+    return
+
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    mo.md(f"Hello, **{name.value or '__'}**!")
+    return
+```
+
+///
+````
+
+/// marimo-embed
+    height: 400px
+    mode: read
+    app_width: wide
+
+```python
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    import marimo as mo
+
+    name = mo.ui.text(placeholder="Enter your name", debounce=False)
+    name
+    return
+
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    mo.md(f"Hello, **{name.value or '__'}**!")
+    return
+```
+

+
+## Interactive Plot Example
+
+Here's an example with an interactive plot:
+
+````markdown
+/// marimo-embed
+    height: 800px
+    mode: read
+    app_width: wide
+
+```python
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    import marimo as mo
+    import numpy as np
+    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+    # Create interactive sliders
+    freq = mo.ui.slider(1, 10, value=2, label="Frequency")
+    amp = mo.ui.slider(0.1, 2, value=1, label="Amplitude")
+
+    mo.hstack([freq, amp])
+    return
+
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    # Plot the sine wave
+    x = np.linspace(0, 10, 1000)
+    y = amp.value * np.sin(freq.value * x)
+
+    plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
+    plt.plot(x, y)
+    plt.title('Interactive Sine Wave')
+    plt.xlabel('x')
+    plt.ylabel('y')
+    plt.grid(True)
+    plt.gca()
+    return
+```
+
+///
+````
+
+/// marimo-embed
+    height: 800px
+    mode: read
+    app_width: wide
+
+```python
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    import marimo as mo
+    import numpy as np
+    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

+    # Create interactive sliders
+    freq = mo.ui.slider(1, 10, value=2, label="Frequency")
+    amp = mo.ui.slider(0.1, 2, value=1, label="Amplitude")

+    plt.xlabel('x')
+    plt.ylabel('y')
+    plt.grid(True)
+    plt.gca()
+    return
+```
+

+
+## Example with Hidden Code
+
+Here's an example that hides the code:
+
+/// marimo-embed
+    height: 400px
+    mode: read
+    app_width: wide
+    include_code: false
+
+```python
+@app.cell
+def __():
+    import marimo as mo

+    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+
+    x = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)
+    y = np.sin(x)
+    plt.plot(x, y)
+    plt.title('Simple Sine Wave')
+    plt.gca()
+    return

+### marimo-embed-file
+
+The `marimo-embed-file` block is used to embed existing marimo files:

+    height: 600px
+    mode: read
+    show_source: true

 This will render a marimo cell that displays the source code and shows the output, but is not interactive in the browser (overriding the global `is_reactive` setting).
 
 Remember that options specified in individual code fences will override the global settings for that specific cell.

+## Releasing (for maintainers)
+
+To release a new version:
+
+1. Bump the version:
+
+   ```bash
+   hatch version patch  # or minor/major
+   git add pyproject.toml
+   git commit -m "chore: bump version to $(hatch version --no-color)"
+   git push origin main
+   ```
+
+2. Create and push a tag:
+
+   ```bash
+   git tag $(hatch version --no-color)
+   git push origin $(hatch version --no-color)
+   ```
+
+This will trigger the GitHub Actions workflow to build and publish the package to PyPI.
