So, I think the following way is a compromise and complementary approaches:

1. If wording it enough, that's OK.
2. If not, use a screenshot with appropriate
comment/sketch/post-processing on it to avoid off-topic understanding.

I really want to have the feature of 2. supplied by native Emacs (or
with the helps of some 3-rd packages, say, the ones on MELPA), but I
still can't figure out the solution.
