Mermaid Diagrams

Mermaid lets you create diagrams and visualizations using text and code. You can define these diagrams in your Markdown code blocks.

To enable this, add the following to page.bodyHtml of YAML configuration or Markdown frontmatter.

page:
  bodyHtml: |
    <snippet var="js.mermaid" />

The above alias will add Mermaid <style> and <script> tags based on Emanote’s defaults.

Example using Mermaid

Graph diagram

```mermaid
%%{init: {'theme': 'forest', "flowchart" : { "curve" : "basis" } } }%%
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    A-->C;
    B-->D;
    C-->D;
```

Results in:

%%{init: {'theme': 'forest', "flowchart" : { "curve" : "basis" } } }%%
graph TD;
    A-->B;
    A-->C;
    B-->D;
    C-->D;

State diagram

```mermaid
stateDiagram
    direction LR
    [*] --> A
    A --> B
    B --> C
    state B {
      direction LR
      a --> b
    }
    B --> D
```

Results in:

stateDiagram
    direction LR
    [*] --> A
    A --> B
    B --> C
    state B {
      direction LR
      a --> b
    }
    B --> D

GANTT diagram

```mermaid
gantt
    dateFormat  YYYY-MM-DD
    title       Adding GANTT diagram functionality to mermaid
    excludes    weekends
    %% (`excludes` accepts specific dates in YYYY-MM-DD format, days of the week ("sunday") or "weekends", but not the word "weekdays".)
