Mermaid diagrams kind of wonky?
#2

can you please paste here the source of the example.

#3 
```mermaid
graph TD
A[CREATIVITY] --> B[Combinatorial]
A[CREATIVITY] --> C[Exploratory]
` ```

The 1st backtick on the lowest line is to make the next 3 backticks stand out.

Based on experience with Obsidian Links in Mermaid

Steps to reproduce

Create a code block in a note as follows:

graph LR;

AAA(AAA Note) --> BBB(BBB Note);

Expected result

Go to preview mode. You should see correctly displayed “AAA Note” and “BBB Note”.

Environment

Operating system: Mac OS 10.14.6

  • Obsidian version: 0.7.6

Additional information

The problem can be temporarily fixed by using a class modifier in Mermaid as follows -

graph LR;
    AAA[Sample<br>text]:::FixFont;
    classDef FixFont font-size:11px

Thanks Shaun, that works.

#6

CSS style:

.node.default { font-size: 0.75em; }

#7

That does not do the trick.

#8

For the example (simple graph) it does, maybe not for more complex graphs. You’re welcome to build upon this and improve it.

The example is a real diagram from one of my notes, I did not change anything. Unfortunately your solution does not work.

Having said that, if I am not mistaken your solution is a global one for all the Mermaid diagrams in Obsidian, and it avoids having to apply font size on a case-by-case basis. It would be nice, more convenient, to have that.

With your code I also tried reducing the size to 0.3em, but there was no change.

It’s also the case for the text on the arrows:

I’ve managed to make the text in boxes smaller with CSS that @BENWF provided, but it doesn’t work for the text on arrows.

#11

I love that mermaid is included now for code blocks! They work a little weird though… I think this is due to the readable line length, I don’t have any custom CSS enabled, but the diagrams are getting cut off.

If there’s a way to resize Mermaid diagrams with the language itself so that they fit, that might be the solution? The code is included here:

graph TB
    Start --> Stop

graph TB
	Oscar --> Diana
	Flor --> Diana
	Fernando --> Felipe
	Marta --> Felipe
	Felipe --> Daniel & Manuela
	Diana --> Daniel & Manuela	

pie title NETFLIX
         "Time spent looking for movie" : 90
         "Time spent watching it" : 10

As per Shaun’s reply above, try this:

graph LR;

%% Class Definitions
%% =================

classDef FixFont font-size:11px;

It works for me. You can play around with the px number.

#13

I can confirm that this workaround seems to fix the problem, but it would be great if we didn’t have to add this syntax every time we have a larger label that we’d like to use in Mermaid syntax.

Weird, I remember being able to repro this issue before, but can’t seem to any more.

#15

we a applied a workaround for the moment but we think this is a bug with mermaid.js. So we’ll have to wait for an upstream fix.

#16

I have worked out a workaround with @shaunp: decrease the font size a bit.

#17

Will be fixed in 0.7.7
