This is great. Thanks for the link.

I'm just starting to learn about tree-sitter but my understanding is that it can also handle nested syntax, for example code in documentation html pages. Does sg support this a well?

What I would like to do is use sg to update my project's code samples. Is that possible? What part of the docs should I look at for this?

Hi! This is Grit's release news so please allow me to only briefly answer your question. > nested syntax sg does not support it natively now and you need API to extract relevant text out.

For update code, I recommend first read the quick start, pattern and rule essentials
