+= Hello, `glossy`!
+In modern web development, languages like @HTML and @CSS are essential.
+
+Now make sure I get your @tps:short reports by 2pm!
+
+@tps:cap is defined as: @tps:def.
+
+= Examples with modifiers
+
+#table(
+  columns: 2,
+  table.header([*Input*], [*Output*]),
+
+  [`@tps:short`      ], [@tps:short],
+  [`@tps:long`       ], [@tps:long],

+
+== Using conflicting modifiers (short, long, both)
+
+These modifiers are semantically mutually exclusive, by they can be combined
+syntactically. When multiple are used, `glossy` tries to make a smart choice on
+which one to display.
