+<p>Finally, we have put a lot of work polishing the little things, because
+little things add up over time and contribute to a great user experience. Two

+<p>This shows a trivial little tweak, where we tell you to put the semicolon at
+the end of the line that is missing it (line 8) instead of at the beginning of
+the following line (line 9). This is particularly important with fixit hints
+and caret diagnostics, because otherwise you don't get the important context.

+<p>This shows an example of much better error recovery. The message coming out
+of GCC is completely useless for diagnosing the problem, Clang tries much harder
+and produces a much more useful diagnosis of the problem.</p>
+
+<p>While each of these details is minor, we feel that they all add up to provide
