Diagrams with mermaid.js

This jekyll-theme supports mermaid.js to render diagrams in markdown.

To enable the mermaid support, you need to set mermaid: true in the front matter of your post.

mermaid: true

Then you can use mermaid syntax in your markdown:

graph TD;
    A-->B;
    A-->C;
    B-->D;
    C-->D;

graph TD;
    A-->B;
    A-->C;
    B-->D;
    C-->D;

Or, even some complex examples:

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!
