+Here's a simple example showing how to create and query geometric data:
+
+.. code-block:: esdl 
+
+   # Create a spatial table
+   type Location {
+       required name: str;
+       required position: ext::postgis::geometry;

+       name := 'Central Park',

+           'POLYGON((-73.968285 40.785091, -73.981457 40.768930,
