Mermaid is library that helps you generate diagrams, flowcharts, and piecharts from text in a similar manner as markdown.

With compose theme, you can use mermaid using a custom shortcode as follows:

Sequence Diagrams

Syntax

{{</* 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 */>}}

Result

{{< 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
prevail... John-->>Alice: Great! John->>Bob: How about you? Bob-->>John: Jolly good! {{< /mermaid >}}
