+    <h1>Using GridStack.js with React hooks</h1>
+    <p>
+      As with any virtualDOM-based framework, you need to check if Reacthas rendered the DOM (or any updates to it)
+      <strong>before</strong> you initialize GridStack or call its methods. This example shows how to make rendered
+      components widgets:
+    </p>
+    <ol>
+      <li>Render items, each with a reference</li>
+      <li>Convert each rendered item to a widget using the reference and the <a
+          href="https://github.com/gridstack/gridstack.js/tree/develop/doc#makewidgetel">
+          makeWidget</a> function</li>
