Pamphlet
  • English

      • Mind maps

      What it is

      A tree radiating from one central word.

      When to use it

      Sketching an outline, mapping the facets of a concept.

      How to write it

      Pamphlet's own syntax — declarations first, relationships second; all seventeen kinds share this skeleton:

      :::mindmap[What Pamphlet is made of]
root:
  Pamphlet
branches:
  > Syntax
  >> Directives
  >> Diagram fences
  > Themes
  >> Palette
  >> Layout
:::

      This syntax does not render on GitHub. If you need it to, write the same diagram as a Mermaid fence instead.

      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

      • The block names are fixed: root: and branches:
      • Inside branches:, the number of > marks is the level: one > is the first level, >> the second
      • The root renders as a circle; you don't write the parentheses
      • Past three levels prefer a list — a mind map earns its keep by showing the whole at a glance
