Another option to create diagrams is to use our [Mermaid](https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/) integration. Mermaid is a markdown-like syntax for building diagrams, ERD, UML, class, sequences and more.

Simply start writing the `(mermaid)` shortcut or just add it from the `/` menu.

See it in action in our example diagram below 😄

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    participant Alice
    participant Bob
    Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
    loop Healthcheck
        John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
    end
    Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br/>prevail!
    John-->>Alice: Great!
    John->>Bob: How about you?
    Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
```
