+### Charts
+
+Academic supports the popular [Plotly](https://plot.ly/) chart format.
+
+Save your Plotly JSON in your page folder, for example `chart.json`, and then add the `{{</* chart data="chart" */>}}` shortcode where you would like the chart to appear.
+
+Demo:
+
+{{< chart data="line-chart" >}}
+
+You might also find the [Plotly JSON Editor](http://plotly-json-editor.getforge.io/) useful.
+
 ### Math
 
 Academic supports a Markdown extension for $\LaTeX$ math. You can enable this feature by toggling the `math` option in your `config/_default/params.toml` file.
