 This should embed the gallery found in galleries/demo in your post.
-Keep in mind that this is a horrible, horrible hack.
+Keep in mind that this is sort of a hack.
+
+Caveats:
+
+* The styling of the displayed gallery is meant to sort-of-work
+with the bootstrap-based themes
+
+* It will **not** have the fancy rows/columns layout of the regular
+gallery in bootstrap, either.
+
+* It will look bad in most other themes. But you can customize it by
+creating your own gallery_fancy.tmpl. Here's the one that comes with
+ the plugin for inspiration:
+
+```html
+## -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
+
+%if post:
+<p>
+    ${post.text()}
+</p>
+%endif
+
+<div id="gallery_container"></div>
