Quartz supports Mermaid which allows you to add diagrams and charts to your notes. Mermaid supports a range of diagrams, such as flow charts, sequence diagrams, and timelines. This is enabled as a part of [[Obsidian compatibility]] and can be configured and enabled/disabled from that plugin.

By default, Quartz will render Mermaid diagrams to match the site theme.

[!warning] Wondering why Mermaid diagrams may not be showing up even if you have them enabled? You may need to reorder your plugins so that [[ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown]] is after [[SyntaxHighlighting]].

Syntax

To add a Mermaid diagram, create a mermaid code block.

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    Alice->>+John: Hello John, how are you?
    Alice->>+John: John, can you hear me?
    John-->>-Alice: Hi Alice, I can hear you!
    John-->>-Alice: I feel great!
```

sequenceDiagram
    Alice->>+John: Hello John, how are you?
    Alice->>+John: John, can you hear me?
    John-->>-Alice: Hi Alice, I can hear you!
    John-->>-Alice: I feel great!
