-Since Layouts are in Yaml, we have the full power of that data format. One particular feature you should look into are ["merge keys"](http://www.yaml.org/YAML_for_ruby.html#merge_key). With merge keys, you can define base styles in one entry, then include those keys elsewhere. For example:
+Squib provides a way of reusing layouts with the special `extends` key. When defining an `extends` key, we can merge in another key and modify data coming in if we want to. This allows us to do things like set an inner object that changes its location based on its parent.
 
 ```yaml
-icon: &icon
-  width: 50
-  height: 50
-icon_left
-  <<: *icon
-  x: 100
-# The layout for icon_left will have the width/height from icon!

+If you use both `extends` and Yaml merge keys, the Yaml merge keys are processed first, then extends. For clarity, however, you're probably just better off using `extends` instead.

 ### Multiple layout files
 
 Squib also supports the combination of multiple layout files. As shown in the above example, if you provide an `Array` of files then Squib will merge them sequentially. Colliding keys will be completely re-defined by the later file. Extends is processed after _each file_. YAML merge keys are NOT supported across multiple files - use extends instead. Here's a demonstrative example:
