Does this caption sound natural in English?

Introduction and Demonstration of Magit in Emacs.


Context: This is going to be used as a caption. Magit is a software that runs inside the text editor called Emacs. Should I use "inside" instead of "in"?


Introduction and Demonstration of Magit inside Emacs.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Zoltán Király Introduction and Demonstration of Magit in Emacs. Right away I see a problem. It seems to be saying "introduction of Magit", but "introduction" does not take "of".
