 In its simplest format, call fontSwitcher like this:
 
-`fontSwitcher('fontName#flag', 'class');`
+```
+fontSwitcher('fontName#flag', '#id');
+fontSwitcher('fontName#flag', '.class');`
+fontSwitcher('fontName#flag', 'tag');
+```
 
-where `fontName` is the new font to load and `class` is the class to attach the new font to.  `flag` is used to specify whether the font is a Google font (`#g`) or an Adobe font (`#a`).  If it's neither -- such as a native font or a generic font -- then no flag is necessary.  Flags can be either upper-case or lower-case.

+The second argument is used to specify whether the font should be applied to elements by ID, class, or tag name (new in v3.0).  Typical CSS format is used: IDs should be preceded by a `#`, classes should be preceded by a `.`, and tags are just the tag names (`a`, `div`, etc.).
 
 So to load the Google font "Lobster" and apply it to the "smallTitle" class, the code would look like this:
 
-`fontSwitcher('Lobster#g', 'smallTitle');`
+`fontSwitcher('Lobster#g', '.smallTitle');`
 
-However, you can also create and apply a whole font stack with one command, rather than just load an individual font.  Use an array to specify fallback fonts or a font stack.  Both Google and Adobe fonts can be loaded with the same function call.  For example:

 Capitalization and spacing matter for Google font names.  Spacing matters for Adobe fonts (as well as system and generic fonts) but capitalization does not.
 
-You can use Google's [Web Font Loader] (https://github.com/typekit/webfontloader#get-started) instead, but fontSwitcher automatically applies the new font to any class you specify, so you can use it for multiple fonts at the same time.

-For any font that does not include a `#g` or `#a` flag, no request is made to Google or Adobe, so fontSwitcher can be used to apply native or pre-loaded fonts without any additional HTTP requests being generated.

 More improvements will be coming, including support for font various styles and effects.  Adobe fonts by default include a range of weights and styles.
 
 Before using a specific font (with or without fontSwitcher) always make sure that the font's license allows the type of use you need it for.  Some fonts require attribution.
