+Exporting to HTML
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The object returned by the ``render`` method is a ``IPython.display.HTML`` object.
+In addition to being displayed in a Jupyter notebook or streamlit application, it can also be saved as an HTML file.
+This could be useful if you want to share the visualization with others or embed it in a web page.
+
+To save the HTML data to a file, you can use the ``data`` attribute of the HTML object:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    html = VG.render(...)
+    with open("my_graph.html", "w") as f:
+        f.write(html.data)
