Been having a little play around with Mermaid support.
If you haven't seen mermaid diagrams before, they're basically a really simple way of drawing a diagram using plain text.
They look a little bit like this:
graph LR
A --> B
The syntax looks a bit like this:
```mermaid
graph LR
A --> B
```
From there, if we want to go little further, make it flow top down, add flow descriptions, and a decision point, we can do this:
```mermaid
graph TD
A[Starting Point] -->|How we get there| B(Next Step)
B --> C{Decision}
C -->|Yes| D[Cool]
C -->|No| E[OK then]
```
And the result:
graph TD
A[Starting Point] -->|How we get there| B(Next Step)
B --> C{Decision}
C -->|Yes| D[Cool]
C -->|No| E[OK then]
And there we are.
There's a few places that take Mermaid syntax.
- Github
- Azure DevOps
- MS Word (with a Mermaid plugin)
- MS Loop
