# External Libraries (CDN)
Optional CDN libraries for cases where pure CSS/HTML isn't enough. Only include what the diagram actually needs — most diagrams need zero external JS.
## Mermaid.js — Diagramming Engine
Use for flowcharts, sequence diagrams, ER diagrams, state machines, mind maps, class diagrams, and any diagram where automatic node positioning and edge routing saves effort. Mermaid handles layout — you handle theming.
Do NOT use for dashboards — CSS Grid card layouts with Chart.js look better for those. Data tables use `<table>` elements.
**CDN:**
```html
<script type="module">
import mermaid from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@11/dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs';
mermaid.initialize({ startOnLoad: true, /* ... */ });
</script>
```
**With ELK layout** (required for `layout: 'elk'` — it's a separate package, not bundled in core):
```html
<script type="module">
import mermaid from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@11/dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs';
import elkLayouts from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@mermaid-js/layout-elk/dist/mermaid-layout-elk.esm.min.mjs';
mermaid.registerLayoutLoaders(elkLayouts);
mermaid.initialize({ startOnLoad: true, layout: 'elk', /* ... */ });
</script>
```
Without the ELK import and registration, `layout: 'elk'` silently falls back to dagre. Only import ELK when you actually need it — it adds significant bundle weight. Most simple diagrams render fine with dagre.
### Deep Theming
Always use `theme: 'base'` — it's the only theme where all `themeVariables` are fully customizable. The built-in themes (`default`, `dark`, `forest`, `neutral`) ignore most variable overrides.
```html
<script type="module">
import mermaid from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@11/dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs';
const isDark = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches;
mermaid.initialize({
startOnLoad: true,
theme: 'base',
look: 'classic',
themeVariables: {
// Background and surfaces — teal/slate palette (not violet/indigo!)
primaryColor: isDark ? '#134e4a' : '#ccfbf1',
primaryBorderColor: isDark ? '#14b8a6' : '#0d9488',
primaryTextColor: isDark ? '#f0fdfa' : '#134e4a',
secondaryColor: isDark ? '#1e293b' : '#f0fdf4',
secondaryBorderColor: isDark ? '#059669' : '#16a34a',
secondaryTextColor: isDark ? '#f1f5f9' : '#1e293b',
tertiaryColor: isDark ? '#27201a' : '#fef3c7',
tertiaryBorderColor: isDark ? '#d97706' : '#f59e0b',
tertiaryTextColor: isDark ? '#fef3c7' : '#27201a',
// Lines and edges
lineColor: isDark ? '#64748b' : '#94a3b8',
// Text
fontSize: '16px',
fontFamily: 'var(--font-body)',
// Notes and labels
noteBkgColor: isDark ? '#1e293b' : '#fefce8',
noteTextColor: isDark ? '#f1f5f9' : '#1e293b',
noteBorderColor: isDark ? '#fbbf24' : '#d97706',
}
});
</script>
```
**FORBIDDEN in Mermaid themeVariables:** `#8b5cf6`, `#7c3aed`, `#a78bfa` (indigo/violet), `#d946ef` (fuchsia). Use teal, slate, amber, emerald, or colors from your page's palette.
### CSS Overrides on Mermaid SVG
Mermaid renders SVG. Override its classes for pixel-perfect control that `themeVariables` can't reach:
```css
/* Container — see html-css-patterns.md "Mermaid Zoom Controls" for the full zoom pattern */
.mermaid-wrap {
position: relative;
background: var(--surface);
border: 1px solid var(--border);
border-radius: 12px;
padding: 24px;
overflow: auto;
}
/* CRITICAL: Force node/edge text to follow the page's color scheme.
Without this, themeVariables.primaryTextColor works for DEFAULT nodes,
but any classDef that sets color: will hardcode a single value that
breaks in the opposite color scheme. Fix: never set color: in classDef,
and always include these CSS overrides. */
.mermaid .nodeLabel { color: var(--text) !important; }
.mermaid .edgeLabel { color: var(--text-dim) !important; background-color: var(--bg) !important; }
.mermaid .edgeLabel rect { fill: var(--bg) !important; }
/* Node shapes */
.mermaid .node rect,
.mermaid .node circle,
.mermaid .node polygon {
stroke-width: 1.5px;
}
/* Edge paths */
.mermaid .edge-pattern-solid {
stroke-width: 1.5px;
}
/* Edge labels — smaller than node labels for visual hierarchy */
.mermaid .edgeLabel {
font-family: var(--font-mono) !important;
font-size: 13px !important;
}
/* Node labels — 16px default; drop to 14px for complex diagrams (20+ nodes) */
.mermaid .nodeLabel {
font-family: var(--font-body) !important;
font-size: 16px !important;
}
/* Sequence diagram actors */
.mermaid .actor {
stroke-width: 1.5px;
}
/* Sequence diagram messages */
.mermaid .messageText {
font-family: var(--font-mono) !important;
font-size: 12px !important;
}
/* ER diagram entities */
.mermaid .er.entityBox {
stroke-width: 1.5px;
}
/* Mind map nodes */
.mermaid .mindmap-node rect {
stroke-width: 1.5px;
}
```
### classDef and style Gotchas
`classDef` values and per-node `style` directives are static text inside `<pre>` — they can't use CSS variables or JS ternaries. Two rules:
1. **Never set `color:` in classDef or per-node `style` directives.** It hardcodes a text color that breaks in the opposite color scheme. Let the CSS overrides above handle text color via `var(--text)`.
2. **Use semi-transparent fills (8-digit hex) for node backgrounds.** They layer over whatever Mermaid's base theme background is, producing a tint that works in both light and dark modes. Use `20``44` alpha for subtle, `55``77` for prominent:
```
classDef highlight fill:#b5761433,stroke:#b57614,stroke-width:2px
classDef muted fill:#7c6f6411,stroke:#7c6f6444,stroke-width:1px
```
### Node Label Special Characters
Mermaid uses certain characters for shape syntax. Node labels containing these characters cause syntax errors unless quoted.
**Shape characters to watch:**
- `[/text/]` — parallelogram
- `[(text)]` — cylindrical
- `[[text]]` — subroutine
- `((text))` — circle
- `{{text}}` — hexagon
**If your node label starts with `/`, `\`, `(`, or `{`, wrap it in quotes:**
```
%% WRONG — syntax error (/ starts parallelogram shape)
CMD[/gallery command] --> SRV[server]
%% RIGHT — quotes escape the special character
CMD["/gallery command"] --> SRV[server]
```
**Edge labels with special characters also need quotes:**
```
%% WRONG
UI -->|"Use as Reference"| RET
%% RIGHT — use single quotes or no quotes for simple text
UI -->|Use as Reference| RET
```
Avoid opaque light fills like `fill:#fefce8` — they render as bright boxes in dark mode.
### stateDiagram-v2 Label Limitations
State diagram transition labels have a strict parser. Avoid:
- `<br/>` — only works in flowcharts; causes a parse error in state diagrams
- Parentheses in labels — `cancel()` can confuse the parser
- Multiple colons — the first `:` is the label delimiter; extra colons may break parsing
If you need multi-line labels or special characters, use a `flowchart` instead of `stateDiagram-v2`. Flowcharts support quoted labels (`|"label with: special chars"|`) and `<br/>` for line breaks.
### Writing Valid Mermaid
Most Mermaid failures come from a few recurring issues.
**For multi-line flowchart node labels, use `<br/>` (not `\n`):**
```
%% WRONG — renders literal "\n" in node text
A["Copilot Backend\n/api + /api/voicebot"] --> B["Redis"]
%% RIGHT — renders on two lines
A["Copilot Backend<br/>/api + /api/voicebot"] --> B["Redis"]
```
**Quote labels with special characters.** Parentheses, colons, commas, brackets, and ampersands break the parser when unquoted:
```
A["handleRequest(ctx)"] --> B["DB: query users"]
A[handleRequest] --> B[query users]
```
**Keep IDs simple.** Node IDs should be alphanumeric with no spaces or punctuation:
```
userSvc["User Service"] --> authSvc["Auth Service"]
```
**Max 10-12 nodes per Mermaid diagram.** Beyond that, readability collapses even with zoom controls. For complex architectures (15+ elements), use the **hybrid pattern**: a simple 5-8 node Mermaid overview showing module relationships, followed by CSS Grid cards with detailed function lists.
```
subgraph Auth
login --> validate --> token
end
subgraph API
gateway --> router --> handler
end
Auth --> API
```
**Arrow styles for semantic meaning:**
| Arrow | Meaning | Use for |
|-------|---------|---------|
| `-->` | Solid | Primary flow |
| `-.->` | Dotted | Optional, async, or fallback paths |
| `==>` | Thick | Critical or highlighted path |
| `--x` | Cross | Rejected or blocked |
| `-->\|label\|` | Labeled | Decision branches, data descriptions |
**Sequence diagram messages must be plain text.** Unlike flowchart labels, sequence diagram messages cannot be quoted or escaped. Curly braces `{}`, square brackets `[]`, angle brackets `<>`, and `&` will silently break the parser:
```
%% WRONG — parser chokes on braces, brackets, ampersand
A->>B: web_search({ queries: [...] })
B->>B: User removes query 2, keeps 1 & 3
%% RIGHT — plain English, no special characters
A->>B: Call web_search with queries
B->>B: User removes query 2, keeps 1 and 3
```
### Layout Direction: TD vs LR
`flowchart LR` (left-to-right) spreads horizontally. With many nodes, Mermaid scales everything down to fit the width, making text unreadable. `flowchart TD` (top-down) is almost always better.
| Direction | Use when | Avoid when |
|-----------|----------|------------|
| `TD` (top-down) | Complex diagrams, 5+ nodes, hierarchies | Simple A→B→C linear flows |
| `LR` (left-to-right) | Simple linear flows, 3-4 nodes | Complex graphs, many branches |
**Rule of thumb:** If the diagram has more than one row of nodes or any branching, use `TD`.
### Diagram Type Examples
**Flowchart with decisions:**
```html
<pre class="mermaid">
graph TD
A[Request] --> B{Authenticated?}
B -->|Yes| C[Load Dashboard]
B -->|No| D[Login Page]
D --> E[Submit Credentials]
E --> B
C --> F{Role?}
F -->|Admin| G[Admin Panel]
F -->|User| H[User Dashboard]
</pre>
```
**Sequence diagram:**
```html
<pre class="mermaid">
sequenceDiagram
participant C as Client
participant G as Gateway
participant S as Service
participant D as Database
C->>G: POST /api/data
G->>G: Validate JWT
G->>S: Forward request
S->>D: Query
D-->>S: Results
S-->>G: Response
G-->>C: 200 OK
</pre>
```
**ER diagram:**
```html
<pre class="mermaid">
erDiagram
USERS ||--o{ ORDERS : places
ORDERS ||--|{ LINE_ITEMS : contains
LINE_ITEMS }o--|| PRODUCTS : references
USERS { string email PK }
ORDERS { int id PK }
LINE_ITEMS { int quantity }
PRODUCTS { string name }
</pre>
```
**State diagram:**
```html
<pre class="mermaid">
stateDiagram-v2
[*] --> Draft
Draft --> Review : submit
Review --> Approved : approve
Review --> Draft : request_changes
Approved --> Published : publish
Published --> Archived : archive
Archived --> [*]
</pre>
```
**Mind map:**
```html
<pre class="mermaid">
mindmap
root((Project))
Frontend
React
Next.js
Tailwind
Backend
Node.js
PostgreSQL
Redis
Infrastructure
AWS
Docker
Terraform
</pre>
```
**Class diagram:**
```html
<pre class="mermaid">
classDiagram
class User {
+string email
+string name
+login()
+logout()
}
class Order {
+int id
+decimal total
+submit()
}
class Product {
+string name
+decimal price
}
User "1" --> "*" Order : places
Order "*" --> "*" Product : contains
</pre>
```
**C4 architecture (flowchart-as-C4):**
```html
<pre class="mermaid">
graph TD
user("User<br/><small>Browser client</small>")
subgraph boundary["Web Platform"]
app["Web App<br/><small>Node.js</small>"]
db[("Database<br/><small>PostgreSQL</small>")]
end
email["Email Service"]:::ext
payment["Payment Gateway"]:::ext
user -->|"HTTPS"| app
app -->|"SQL"| db
app -->|"SMTP"| email
app -->|"API"| payment
classDef ext fill:none,stroke-dasharray:5 5
</pre>
```
Do NOT use native `C4Context` / `C4Container` syntax — it hardcodes sharp corners, its own font, and inline colors that ignore `themeVariables`. Use `graph TD` + `subgraph` for C4 boundaries instead.
### Which Mermaid Diagram Type?
| You want to show... | Use | Syntax keyword |
|---|---|---|
| Process flow, decisions, pipelines | Flowchart | `graph TD` / `graph LR` |
| Request/response, API calls, temporal interactions | Sequence diagram | `sequenceDiagram` |
| Database tables and relationships | ER diagram | `erDiagram` |
| OOP classes, domain models with methods | Class diagram | `classDiagram` |
| System architecture at multiple zoom levels | C4 diagram | `graph TD` + `subgraph` |
| State transitions, lifecycles | State diagram | `stateDiagram-v2` |
| Hierarchical breakdowns, brainstorms | Mind map | `mindmap` |
### Dark Mode Handling
Mermaid initializes once — it can't reactively switch themes. Read the preference at load time inside your `<script type="module">`:
```javascript
const isDark = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches;
// Use isDark to pick light or dark values in themeVariables
```
The CSS overrides on the container (`.mermaid-wrap`) and page will still respond to `prefers-color-scheme` normally — only the Mermaid SVG internals are static.

## Chart.js — Data Visualizations
Use for bar charts, line charts, pie/doughnut charts, radar charts, and other data-driven visualizations in dashboard-type diagrams. Overkill for static numbers — use pure SVG/CSS for simple progress bars and sparklines.
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js@4/dist/chart.umd.min.js"></script>
<canvas id="myChart" width="600" height="300"></canvas>
<script>
const isDark = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches;
const textColor = isDark ? '#8b949e' : '#6b7280';
const gridColor = isDark ? 'rgba(255,255,255,0.06)' : 'rgba(0,0,0,0.06)';
const fontFamily = getComputedStyle(document.documentElement)
.getPropertyValue('--font-body').trim() || 'system-ui, sans-serif';
new Chart(document.getElementById('myChart'), {
type: 'bar',
data: {
labels: ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar', 'Apr', 'May'],
datasets: [{
label: 'Feedback Items',
data: [45, 62, 78, 91, 120],
backgroundColor: isDark ? 'rgba(129, 140, 248, 0.6)' : 'rgba(79, 70, 229, 0.6)',
borderColor: isDark ? '#818cf8' : '#4f46e5',
borderWidth: 1,
borderRadius: 4,
}]
},
options: {
responsive: true,
plugins: {
legend: { labels: { color: textColor, font: { family: fontFamily } } },
},
scales: {
x: { ticks: { color: textColor, font: { family: fontFamily } }, grid: { color: gridColor } },
y: { ticks: { color: textColor, font: { family: fontFamily } }, grid: { color: gridColor } },
}
}
});
</script>
```
Wrap the canvas in a styled container:
```css
.chart-container {
background: var(--surface);
border: 1px solid var(--border);
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 20px;
position: relative;
}
.chart-container canvas {
max-height: 300px;
}
```

## anime.js — Orchestrated Animations
Use when a diagram has 10+ elements and you want a choreographed entrance sequence (staggered reveals, path drawing, count-up numbers). For simpler diagrams, CSS `animation-delay` staggering is sufficient.
```html
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/animejs@3.2.2/lib/anime.min.js"></script>
<script>
const prefersReduced = window.matchMedia('(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)').matches;
if (!prefersReduced) {
anime({
targets: '.ve-card',
opacity: [0, 1],
translateY: [20, 0],
delay: anime.stagger(80, { start: 200 }),
easing: 'easeOutCubic',
duration: 500,
});
anime({
targets: '.connector path',
strokeDashoffset: [anime.setDashoffset, 0],
easing: 'easeInOutCubic',
duration: 800,
delay: anime.stagger(150, { start: 600 }),
});
document.querySelectorAll('[data-count]').forEach(el => {
anime({
targets: { val: 0 },
val: parseInt(el.dataset.count),
round: 1,
duration: 1200,
delay: 400,
easing: 'easeOutExpo',
update: (anim) => { el.textContent = anim.animations[0].currentValue; }
});
});
}
</script>
```
When using anime.js, set initial opacity to 0 in CSS so elements don't flash before the animation:
```css
.ve-card { opacity: 0; }
@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) {
.ve-card { opacity: 1 !important; }
}
```

## Google Fonts — Typography
Always load with `display=swap` for fast rendering. Pick a distinctive pairing — body + mono at minimum, optionally a display font for the title.
**FORBIDDEN as `--font-body` (AI slop signals):**
- Inter — the single most overused AI default font
- Roboto — generic Android/Google default
- Arial, Helvetica — system defaults with no character
- system-ui alone without a named font — signals zero design intent
```html
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Space+Mono:wght@400;700&family=Outfit:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
```
Define as CSS variables for easy reference:
```css
:root {
--font-body: 'Outfit', system-ui, sans-serif;
--font-mono: 'Space Mono', 'SF Mono', Consolas, monospace;
}
```
**Font pairings** (rotate — never use the same pairing twice in a row):
| Body / Headings | Mono / Labels | Feel | Use for |
|---|---|---|---|
| DM Sans | Fira Code | Friendly, developer | Blueprint, technical docs |
| Instrument Serif | JetBrains Mono | Editorial, refined | Plan reviews, decision logs |
| IBM Plex Sans | IBM Plex Mono | Reliable, readable | Architecture diagrams |
| Bricolage Grotesque | Fragment Mono | Bold, characterful | Data tables, dashboards |
| Plus Jakarta Sans | Azeret Mono | Rounded, approachable | Status reports, audits |
| Outfit | Space Mono | Clean geometric, modern | Flowcharts, pipelines |
| Sora | IBM Plex Mono | Technical, precise | ER diagrams, schemas |
| Crimson Pro | Noto Sans Mono | Scholarly, serious | RFC reviews, specs |
| Fraunces | Source Code Pro | Warm, distinctive | Project recaps |
| Geist | Geist Mono | Vercel-inspired, sharp | Modern API docs |
| Red Hat Display | Red Hat Mono | Cohesive family | System overviews |
| Libre Franklin | Inconsolata | Classic, reliable | Data-dense tables |
| Playfair Display | Roboto Mono | Elegant contrast | Executive summaries |
The first 5 pairings are recommended for most use cases. Vary across consecutive diagrams.
### Typography by Content Voice
For prose-heavy pages (documentation, articles, essays), match typography to the content's voice:
| Voice | Fonts | Best For |
|-------|-------|----------|
| **Literary / Thoughtful** | Literata, Lora, Newsreader, Merriweather | Essays, personal posts, long-form articles |
| **Technical / Precise** | IBM Plex Sans + Mono, Geist + Geist Mono, Source family | Documentation, READMEs, API references |
| **Bold / Contemporary** | Bricolage Grotesque, Space Grotesk, DM Sans | Product pages, feature announcements |
| **Minimal / Focused** | Source Serif 4 + Source Sans 3, Karla + Inconsolata | Tutorials, how-tos, focused reading |
**Literata** deserves special mention — it has optical sizing designed specifically for screen reading. Google's answer to Georgia, but modernized.
