Mermaid and Markdown in WordPress

James Young · September 6, 2019

I’ve been doing much of my work lately in a local WikiJS and also documentation through Markdown. So unfortunately this means that WordPress has gone by the wayside somewhat.

However, I discovered something very cool. There’s multiple plugins you can use to put in Markdown support into WordPress, and some of them support Mermaid!

This means it’s really easy to do things like inline code blocks,

preformatted code blocks
Col 1 Col 2
Easy Tables

And even charts like;

AliceBobJohnHello John, how are you?Fight against hypochondrialoop[ Healthcheck ]Rational thoughts prevail!Great!How about you?Jolly good!AliceBobJohn

Happy times!
