Pele Renders Mermaid Diagrams as Themeable SVG
Key points
- Pele converts Mermaid syntax into SVG.
- Diagrams are themeable using CSS variables.
- Color changes apply without re-rendering.
- Pele provides an API for rendering diagrams.
Mermaid to SVG Conversion
Pele functions by taking Mermaid syntax as input and rendering it into Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). This conversion allows for the creation of diagrams from text-based descriptions.
CSS Variable Theming
A core feature of Pele is its support for theming using CSS variables. Users can define custom colors and fonts, such as background, foreground, line, and surface colors, directly through CSS. These style changes are applied to the SVG diagrams without requiring a full re-render, offering dynamic customization.
API and Compatibility
Pele offers an API for integrating diagram rendering into applications. The tool also provides examples of supported diagram types and allows for comparison of its syntax, layout, and features against standard Mermaid implementations.
