+## Chart
+
+`chart` uses the Chart.js library to embed charts into articles using simple structured data. It supports a number of [different chart styles](https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/samples/) and everything can be configured from within the shortcode. Simply provide the chart parameters between the shortcode tags and Chart.js will do the rest.
+
+Refer to the [official Chart.js docs](https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/general/) for details on syntax and supported chart types.
+
+**Example:**
+
+```js
+{{</* chart */>}}
+type: 'bar',
+data: {
+  labels: ['Tomato', 'Blueberry', 'Banana', 'Lime', 'Orange'],
+  datasets: [{
+    label: '# of votes',
+    data: [12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3],
+  }]
+}
+{{</* /chart */>}}
+```
