I haven’t found a way yet, but would really like this feature. There are maybe some properties you can add inside the mermaid diagram code to do this, but i havent looked. Try the mermaid.live website documentation. There is another 3 ear old thread about this:

> Using mermaid diagrams in Obsidian is currently a bit clunky, and not everything works. Most of these issues can be addressed by allowing the users to resize and realign the mermaid diagram. I think this screenshot can demonstrate my points pretty well: Related bug report: [Gantt charts are way too small to be readable](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/gantt-charts-are-way-too-small-to-be-readable/7017)

and this may be in the latest mermaid but not sure if obsidian uses the latest mermaid. This seems rely on using css snippets to add the required css code. I haven’t tried the Dune theme yet either which also does this. I try not to switch themes as it’s a time sink and some themes are difficult to get back out of without editing in the .obsidian directory.
