mmdc

CLI for mermaid, a diagram generation tool with a domain-specific language. A mermaid definition file is taken as input and a SVG, PNG, or PDF file is generated as output. More information: https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/.

• Convert a file to the specified format (automatically determined from the file extension):

mmdc {{[-i|--input]}} {{input.mmd}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{output.svg}}

• Specify the theme of the chart:

mmdc {{[-i|--input]}} {{input.mmd}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{output.svg}} {{[-t|--theme]}} {{forest|dark|neutral|default}}

• Specify the background color of the chart (e.g. lime, "#D8064F", or transparent):

mmdc {{[-i|--input]}} {{input.mmd}} {{[-o|--output]}} {{output.svg}} {{[-b|--backgroundColor]}} {{color}}
