title: What is the purpose of curdoc()?
body: <p>I've been playing with bokeh for a little bit of time and I'm now at the step where I'd like to create interactive plots and embed them online (in WordPress posts, for example).</p>
  
  <p>However, even though I spent some time reviewing and testing code from the bokeh website examples, I have a hard time understanding exactly what is the purpose of curdoc(). It seems to be necessary in order to create a bokeh app with widgets, but from what I found in the ressources, I don't quite understand it.</p>
