So I look at the embedding instructions, but the menu doesn’t have an embed option. Hmmm. Possibly a really noob error. I’m using Chrome on OSX.

Try giving the cell a name! You can only embed cells that have names, so something like

```auto
chart = svg`<svg width=100 height=100>
  <circle cx=60 cy=40 r=40/> ...
</svg>
`

```

should have the Embed option in that cell’s menu

Apologies for the inconvenience, but we just deployed a big internal UI refactoring, and it looks like we might have broken this menu. We’re on it!

The “Embed code” option in the cell menu should be all fixed now. Sorry about that!
