+## Syntax
+
+The idea behind syntax is that a user types `sankey-beta` keyword first, then pastes raw CSV below and get the result.
+
+It implements CSV standard as [described here](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4180.txt) with subtle **differences**:
+
+- CSV must contain **3 columns only**
+- It is **allowed** to have **empty lines** without comma separators for visual purposes
+
+### Basic
+
+It is implied that 3 columns inside CSV should represent `source`, `target` and `value` accordingly:
+
+```mermaid-example
+sankey-beta
+
+%% source,target,value
+Electricity grid,Over generation / exports,104.453

+### Empty Lines
+
+CSV does not support empty lines without comma delimeters by default. But you can add them if needed:
+
+```mermaid-example
+sankey-beta
+
+Bio-conversion,Losses,26.862
+
+Bio-conversion,Solid,280.322
+
+Bio-conversion,Gas,81.144

+
+Bio-conversion,Solid,280.322
+
+Bio-conversion,Gas,81.144
+```
+
+### Commas
+
+If you need to have a comma, wrap it in double quotes:
+
+```mermaid-example
+sankey-beta
+
+Pumped heat,"Heating and cooling, homes",193.026
+Pumped heat,"Heating and cooling, commercial",70.672
+```
+
+```mermaid
+sankey-beta
+
+Pumped heat,"Heating and cooling, homes",193.026
+Pumped heat,"Heating and cooling, commercial",70.672
+```
+
+### Double Quotes
+
+If you need to have double quote, put a pair of them inside quoted string:
+
+```mermaid-example
+sankey-beta
+
+Pumped heat,"Heating and cooling, ""homes""",193.026
+Pumped heat,"Heating and cooling, ""commercial""",70.672

+
+## Configuration
+
+You can customize link colors, node alignments and diagram dimensions.
+
+```html
+<script>
+  const config = {
+    startOnLoad: true,
+    securityLevel: 'loose',
+    sankey: {
+      width: 800,
+      height: 400,
+      linkColor: 'source',
+      nodeAlignment: 'left',
+    },
+  };
+  mermaid.initialize(config);
+</script>
+```
+
+### Links Coloring
+
+You can adjust links' color by setting `linkColor` to one of those:
+
+- `source` - link will be of a source node color
+- `target` - link will be of a target node color
+- `gradient` - link color will be smoothly transient between source and target node colors
+- hex code of color, like `#a1a1a1`
+
+### Node Alignment
+
+Graph layout can be changed by setting `nodeAlignment` to:
+
+- `justify`
+- `center`
+- `left`
+- `right`

+### Actor Creation and Destruction
+
+It is possible to create and destroy actors by messages. To do so, add a create or destroy directive before the message.
+
+    create participant B
+    A --> B: Hello
+
+Create directives support actor/participant distinction and aliases. The sender or the recipient of a message can be destroyed but only the recipient can be created.
+
+```mermaid-example
+sequenceDiagram
+    Alice->>Bob: Hello Bob, how are you ?
+    Bob->>Alice: Fine, thank you. And you?
+    create participant Carl
+    Alice->>Carl: Hi Carl!
+    create actor D as Donald
+    Carl->>D: Hi!
+    destroy Carl
+    Alice-xCarl: We are too many
+    destroy Bob
+    Bob->>Alice: I agree

 ### Grouping / Box

 The actor(s) can be grouped in vertical boxes. You can define a color (if not, it will be transparent) and/or a descriptive label using the following notation:

 ### Customizing Color scheme

-You can customize the color scheme using the `cScale0` to `cScale11` theme variables. Mermaid allows you to set unique colors for up-to 12 sections, where `cScale0` variable will drive the value of the first section or time-period, `cScale1` will drive the value of the second section and so on.
+You can customize the color scheme using the `cScale0` to `cScale11` theme variables, which will change the background colors. Mermaid allows you to set unique colors for up-to 12 sections, where `cScale0` variable will drive the value of the first section or time-period, `cScale1` will drive the value of the second section and so on.
 In case you have more than 12 sections, the color scheme will start to repeat.

+If you also want to change the foreground color of a section, you can do so use theme variables corresponding `cScaleLabel0` to `cScaleLabel11` variables.
+
 NOTE: Default values for these theme variables are picked from the selected theme. If you want to override the default values, you can use the `initialize` call to add your custom theme variable values.
