# yaml style comment
displayMode: compact
# 'Triple dash' MUST be first to start mermaid frontmatter.
# YAML requires consistent indenting
# Settings are caseSensitive, silently ignore mispellings; incorrect parameters will break diagram, and inconsistantly require strings to be quoted
# Reminder to test diagrams online: https://mermaid.live
# 'init' and chart 'config' settings belong here.
