It’s now possible to create mind-maps right in the forum.
mindmap
Sun
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Moon
Mars
Phobos
Deimos
The format is:
- Type three backtick characters followed by the word
mermaid. On English (USA) keyboards, the backtick character is at the top left of the keyboard, right above the TAB key.- See the first screenshot below.
- After you type
mermaid, the forum might add some extra text after it, shown in the second screenshot below.
- On the next line, type
mindmap. - Then write the keywords of your mind map nodes in outline format. You can indent child nodes with 2 or 4 spaces.
- At the end of the mind map section, type three more backticks to close the mind map.
Here’s a screenshot of the extra text that the forum might add after the word mermaid.
If anyone has questions, leave a comment below.
Here’s some text that you can copy/paste into a post as a template. Remember to wrap it with triple backticks as mentioned in the first bulleted step above.

Read more about mermaid syntax in their documentation. It’s possible to create different shapes and use markdown syntax in the nodes.
