+# Headpile
+
+The `Headpile` component is a headshot-bulleted list of people, identifying them with their names, roles and a short description of their significance to a story.
+
+It's designed to be used with headshots that have had their background removed, which can be done in the [Preview app](https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/preview/prvw15636/mac?#apd320b3b1b750a4) on macOS.
+
+```svelte
+<script>

+</script>
+
+<Headpile
