+  [Govspeak](https://github.com/alphagov/govspeak) is GOV.UK's extension of Markdown.
+
+  This component has no control over markup, which is passed in to the component pre-generated. It only applies CSS/JS.
+
+  It applies styling to standard Markdown content, eg; paragraphs, headings and lists. It also applies styling to Govspeak specific markup, like [callouts](https://github.com/alphagov/govspeak#callouts), [contacts](https://github.com/alphagov/govspeak#points-of-contact) and [highlights](https://github.com/alphagov/govspeak#highlights).
+
+  In addition to styling, it also applies some Javascript behaviours.
+
+  - Progressively enhanced, accessible charts (using [Magna Charta](https://github.com/alphagov/magna-charta), derived from tabular data (see example below)
+  - Progressively enhanced, accessible embedded YouTube player (using [AccessibleMediaPlayer](https://github.com/alphagov/Accessible-Media-Player)
