Diagram Types Commonly Used in Markdown Workflows
Most technical documents rely on a small set of Mermaid diagram types.
- Flowcharts for process explanation
- Sequence diagrams for API behavior
- State diagrams for lifecycle logic
- Gantt diagrams for project planning
Common Export Risks
The biggest risk is losing diagram meaning during conversion, not just visual style.
- Raw Mermaid code appears instead of rendered diagrams
- Text in nodes becomes unreadable after scaling
- Diagram placement breaks nearby sections
Recommended Mermaid to Word Delivery Workflow
Treat diagram conversion as part of document QA, not an afterthought.
- Keep node labels concise before export.
- Preview rendered diagrams for clipping issues.
- Export to Word and check page break behavior.
- Run a final readability check at 100% zoom.
