• Copy/paste the share link into the page:
  <ourworldindata>https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/historic-and-un-pop-projections-by-age</ourworldindata>
• The share link may include parameters to filter the chart:
  <ourworldindata>https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/historic-and-un-pop-projections-by-age?time=1950..2020</ourworldindata>
• Specify a chart name directly:
  <ourworldindata>historic-and-un-pop-projections-by-age</ourworldindata>
• Filter parameters can be added to the tag:
  <ourworldindata time="1950..2020">historic-and-un-pop-projections-by-age</ourworldindata>

You can use TemplateStyles to further style the generated <iframe> by targeting iframe.owid-frame in your CSS.
