+title: Mermaid charts!
+description: My site now has mermaid charts! Many thanks to Imtiaz Khan!
+---
+
+MermaidJS is a JavaScript based diagramming and charting tool that renders Markdown-inspired text definitions to create and modify diagrams dynamically. I've been a fan of tools like it (which includes Graphviz) for years. 
+
+Many thanks to [Imtiaz Khan](https://github.com/ImtiazKhanDS) for sharing with me how to implement it.
