 One would notice that all **Diagrams definitions begin** with a declaration of the **diagram type**, followed by the definitions of the diagram and its contents. This declaration notifies the parser which kind of diagram the code is supposed to generate. The only exception to this a [Frontmatter](#frontmatter-for-diagram-code) configuration.

 Line comments can ignore anything on the line after '%% '.

 Frontmatter is the term for adding YAML metadata at the start of code. This allows for reconfiguration of a diagram before it is rendered. You can pass metadata Frontmatter with your definition by adding `---` to the lines before and after the definition. This 'triple dash' MUST be the only character on the first line.
 
-Frontmatter uses YAML coding syntax. It requires any indenting to be consistent, settings are case sensitive. Mermaid will silently ignore misspelling, but badly formed parameters will break the diagram. Strings will inconsistently require quotation marks.
