#### Limitation
If any of a subgraph's nodes are linked to the outside, subgraph direction will be ignored. Instead the subgraph will inherit the direction of the parent graph:
```mermaid-example
flowchart LR
subgraph subgraph1
direction TB
top1[top] --> bottom1[bottom]
end
subgraph subgraph2
direction TB
top2[top] --> bottom2[bottom]
end
%% ^ These subgraphs are identical, except for the links to them:
%% Link *to* subgraph1: subgraph1 direction is mantained
outside --> subgraph1
%% Link *within* subgraph2:
%% subgraph2 inherits the direction of the top-level graph (LR)
outside ---> top2
```
## Markdown Strings
The "Markdown Strings" feature enhances flowcharts and mind maps by offering a more versatile string type, which supports text formatting options such as bold and italics, and automatically wraps text within labels.
