+# Subtitle
+
+Subtitle is a second title placed under the main title, by default. It has exactly the same configuration options with the main [title](./title.md).
+
+## Subtitle Configuration
+
+Namespace: `options.plugins.subtitle`. The global defaults for subtitle are configured in `Chart.defaults.plugins.subtitle`.
+
+Excactly the same configuration options with [title](./title.md) are available for subtitle, the namespaces only differ.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+The example below would enable a title of 'Custom Chart Subtitle' on the chart that is created.
+
+```javascript
+var chart = new Chart(ctx, {
+    type: 'line',
+    data: data,
+    options: {
+        plugins: {
+            subtitle: {
+                display: true,
+                text: 'Custom Chart Subtitle'
+            }
+        }
+    }
+});
