+Embed a Post and Its Replies
+----------------------------
+
+You can also embed an individual post, the replies to a post, or both.
+This mode lets you use Fediverse replies as a comment system for static sites, inspired by [a blog post from Carl Schwan][reply-post].
+
+Use this to embed a post along with its responses:
+
+    <a class="mastodon-thread"
+       href="https://mastodon.social/@Mastodon"
+       data-toot-id="112011697087209298"
+       >Thread from the Fediverse</a>
+
+By default, both the original post and the replies appear.
+You can customize this link with `data-` attributes:
+
+* `data-exclude-replies`: Set to `true` to exclude the replies.
+* `data-exclude-post`: Set to `true` to exclude the post, leaving just the replies. This may be more appropriate for the blog-comments use case [mentioned above][reply-post].
+
+This mode uses the same style of markup as the user feed, so you can use the same CSS to provide style for these embedded posts.
