Not sure if this question is directed at me. My understanding is that mermaid is relatively similar to plantuml in that it doesn't give you 100% control over layout and diagram features.
What plantuml lacks (maybe mermaid less so) could really only be improved upon by working with raw svg I think. There is a LaTex package tikz that offer much more flexibility than plantuml/mermaid, but you still run into limitations in that diagram features are predefined.
- fsiefken 4y agoAh thanks for your answer comfypotato, Tikz looks even better then Graphviz. No, I misplaced my remark in the thread and directed at rcarmo just one level above who would have switched to mermaid if it didn't need a browser (or perhaps just node.js). Tikz also needs a LaTex dependency, with gigabytes of diskpace I'm personally not that frugal anymore with tooling size even though I like using as little disk space as possible. Perhaps rcarmo reads the thread further, perhaps not.
