#Mind maps (Mermaid fence)

#What it is

The same diagram as Mind maps; only how you write it differs. This page uses a ```mermaid fence and writes Mermaid source directly.

#When to use it

• The source goes to GitHub and you want the diagram to render there — Pamphlet's own syntax shows up as plain text on GitHub
• You already know Mermaid and would rather not learn a second thing
• You need something the own syntax cannot express (the Traps section below says what)

Otherwise use the own syntax: the field names are fixed, and a mistake is reported on the line it is on.

#How to write it

```mermaid
mindmap
  root((Pamphlet))
    Syntax
      Directives
      Diagram fences
    Themes
      Palette
      Layout
```

#What comes out

Drawn to SVG at compile time and inlined into the output, so the reader downloads no drawing library and makes no network request. Colours follow the theme; scroll to zoom, drag to pan, double-click to reset.

#Traps

• Indentation carries the hierarchy; no arrows to draw
• root((text)) takes double parentheses and renders as a circle
• Past three levels prefer a list — a mind map earns its keep by showing the whole at a glance
