Troubleshooting

Theme not applied

Check the render script output for the bg and fg values, or inspect the SVG's opening tag for --bg and --fg CSS custom properties.

Diagram appears cut off or incomplete

  • Check edge label syntax — use -->|label| pipe notation, not -- label -->
  • Verify all node IDs are unique
  • Check for unclosed brackets in node labels

Render produces empty or malformed SVG

  • Validate Mermaid syntax at https://mermaid.live before rendering
  • Check for special characters that need escaping (wrap in quotes)
  • Ensure flowchart direction is specified (graph TD, graph LR, etc.)
