Mermaid

Mermaid is a library helping you to generate diagram and flowcharts from text, in a similar manner as Markdown.

Just insert your mermaid code in the mermaid shortcode and that’s it.

Flowchart example

{{<mermaid align="left">}}
graph LR;
    A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge)
    B --> C{Decision}
    C -->|One| D[Result one]
    C -->|Two| E[Result two]
{{< /mermaid >}}

renders as

graph LR; A[Hard edge] -->|Link text| B(Round edge) B --> C{Decision} C -->|One| D[Result one] C -->|Two| E[Result two]

Sequence example

{{< mermaid >}}
sequenceDiagram
    participant Alice
    participant Bob
    Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
    loop Healthcheck
        John->John: Fight against hypochondria
    end
    Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br/>prevail...
    John-->Alice: Great!
    John->Bob: How about you?
    Bob-->John: Jolly good!
{{< /mermaid >}}
