+# Layouts
+
+This page lists the available layout algorithms supported in Mermaid diagrams.
+
+## Supported Layouts
+
+- **elk**: [ELK (Eclipse Layout Kernel)](https://www.eclipse.org/elk/)
+- **tidy-tree**: Tidy tree layout for hierarchical diagrams [Tidy Tree Configuration](/config/tidy-tree)
+- **cose-bilkent**: Cose Bilkent layout for force-directed graphs
+- **dagre**: Dagre layout for layered graphs
+
+## How to Use
+
+You can specify the layout in your diagram's YAML config or initialization options. For example:
+
+```mermaid-example
+%%{init: { 'layout': 'elk' }}%%
+graph TD;
+ A-->B;
+ B-->C;
+```
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: { 'layout': 'elk' }}%%
+graph TD;
+ A-->B;
+ B-->C;
+```

-# Tidy-tree Layout Instructions
+# Tidy-tree Layout
-Instructions to use the Tidy-tree layout algorithm.
+The **tidy-tree** layout arranges nodes in a hierarchical, tree-like structure. It is especially useful for diagrams where parent-child relationships are important, such as mindmaps.
-## Getting Started
+## Features
-### Installation
+- Organizes nodes in a tidy, non-overlapping tree
+- Ideal for mindmaps and hierarchical data
+- Automatically adjusts spacing for readability
-```bash
-npm install non-layered-tidy-tree-layout
-# or
-yarn add non-layered-tidy-tree-layout
-
-```
-
-There's also a built version: `dist/non-layered-tidy-tree-layout.js` for use with browser `
-```
+- Currently, tidy-tree is primarily supported for mindmap diagrams.
