How to use

WP Mermaid is smart enough that loads mermaid.js only when your posts contain Mermaid syntax, by detecting the use of shortcode and block. So it will not be loaded on your website everywhere.

Shortcode

In classic editor, you can use shortcode to render your Mermaid syntax. If you are using WordPress version below 5.0, this is the only way you can use.

[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!
