CodeMirror determine the name of the mode

How can I tell the name of the "mode" for each language in CodeMirror?

For example, the mode "HTML Embedded" gives this page: http://codemirror.net/mode/htmlembedded/index.html

On this page, there is a script, but it doesn't set the mode. 

  var editor = CodeMirror.fromTextArea(document.getElementById("code"), {
    lineNumbers: true,
    matchBrackets: true,
    continueComments: "Enter",
    extraKeys: {"Ctrl-Q": "toggleComment"}
  });

I would expect a mode: "somemode" to be in this. How else can we tell the name of it?

The first mode loaded becomes the default mode. You can do editor.getMode().name to get the name of the mode loaded in an editor instance.
