 This way, when running in recording mode, only the tests that have been marked with the
 ``:show_in_doc`` metadata will be run, and hence only those will be used as examples.
 
+If you want to distinguish your recorded examples from one another, you can provide a ``doc_title``
+that will be displayed in the documentation later, like this:

+.. code:: ruby
+
+  it 'works', :show_in_doc, doc_title: 'A working example' do
