  include Graphdown::Renderable
end

Graph notation

Graphdown extends following notations for graphs.

  • [label name]: Node named "label name"
  • [label A], [label B], ...: Multiple nodes
  • ->: Unidirectional edge
  • <->: Bidirectional edge

Graphdown parses these notations into graph images in SVG format.
