+### Add Text Template to Pie Chart
+To show an arbitrary text in your chart you can use [texttemplate](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#pie-texttemplate), which is a template string used for rendering the information, and will override [textinfo](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#treemap-textinfo). 
+
+```python
+import plotly.graph_objects as go
+
+fig = go.Figure(go.Pie(
+    values = [2, 5, 3, 2.5],
+    labels = ["R", "Python", "Java Script", "Matlab"],
+    texttemplate = "%{label}: %{value} (%{percent})",
+    textposition = "inside"))
+
+fig.show()
+```
+
+### Customize Text Template
+
+The following example uses [textfont](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#scatterternary-textfont) to customize the added text. 
+
+```python
+import plotly.graph_objects as go
+
+fig = go.Figure(go.Scatterternary(
+    a = [3, 2, 5],
+    b = [2, 5, 2],
+    c = [5, 2, 2],
+    mode = "markers+text",
+    text = ["A", "B", "C"],
+    texttemplate = "%{text}<br>(%{a:.2f}, %{b:.2f}, %{c:.2f})",
+    textposition = "bottom center",
+    textfont = {'family': "Times", 'size': [18, 21, 20], 'color': ["IndianRed", "MediumPurple", "DarkOrange"]}
+))
+
+fig.show()
+```
+### Set Date in Text Template
+The following example shows how to show date by setting [axis.type](https://plot.ly/python/reference/#layout-yaxis-type) in [funnel charts](https://plot.ly/python/funnel-charts/).
+
+```python
+from plotly import graph_objects as go
+
+fig = go.Figure()
+
+fig.add_trace(go.Funnel(
+    name = 'Montreal',
+    orientation = "h",
+    y = ["2018-01-01", "2018-07-01", "2019-01-01", "2020-01-01"],
+    x = [100, 60, 40, 20],
+    textposition = "inside",
+    texttemplate = "%{label}"))
+
+fig.add_trace(go.Funnel(
+    name = 'Vancouver',
+    orientation = "h",
+    y = ["2018-01-01", "2018-07-01", "2019-01-01", "2020-01-01"],
+    x = [90, 70, 50, 10],
+    textposition = "inside",
+    textinfo = "label"))
+
+fig.update_layout(yaxis = {'type': 'date'})
+
+fig.show()
+```
