· 14 min read
Mermaid is the most popular text-based diagramming language for technical documentation. One line of code generates a flowchart. A few more produce a sequence diagram, ER diagram, or Gantt chart. Teams using Confluence can embed Mermaid diagrams directly on their pages, keeping diagrams alongside the documentation they illustrate.
