This is really wonderful. An excellent feature for new users – 
lowers the cost of "just try it out".

Feedback:

1. It will be aesthetically better if the edit/run buttons are 
inside the code box, say just inside the right top corner.

2. Could we add a "open in an external website/new window" 
icon/button (for example: 
http://findicons.com/files/icons/2315/default_icon/256/open_in_new_window.png ) to open the example in say a dpaste window or an equivalent playground.

Thanks,
Saurabh
