initial version

+You can easily embed the results of a view into other parts of your site;
+either with code as a module, or in nodes or blocks as snippets. The
+easiest way is to use the function <strong>views_embed_view()</strong>:
+
+<code>/**
+ * Embed a view using a PHP snippet.
+ *
+ * This function is meant to be called from PHP snippets, should one wish to
+ * embed a view in a node or something. It's meant to provide the simplest
+ * solution and doesn't really offer a lot of options, but breaking the function
+ * apart is pretty easy, and this provides a worthwhile guide to doing so.
+ *
+ * @param $name
+ *   The name of the view to embed.
+ * @param $display_id
+ *   The display id to embed. If unsure, use 'default', as it will always be
+ *   valid. But things like 'page' or 'block' should work here.
+ * @param ...
+ *   Any additional parameters will be passed as arguments.
+ */
+function views_embed_view($name, $display_id = 'default') {
+</code>
+
+To figure out the id of a display, hover your mouse over the tab to select that display. Everything after the '#views-tab-' is the id of that display. This ID is guaranteed never to change unless you delete the display and create a new one.
