C4 Diagrams ⚠️

C4 Diagram: This is an experimental diagram for now. The syntax and properties can change in future releases. Proper documentation will be provided when the syntax is stable.

Mermaid Themes

Available themes are as follows:

  1. default - This is the default theme for all diagrams.
  2. neutral - This theme is great for black and white documents that will be printed.
  3. dark - This theme goes well with dark-colored elements or dark-mode.
  4. forest - This theme contains shades of green.
  5. base - This is the only theme that can be modified. Use this theme as the base for customizations.

Head to the Theme Configuration | Mermaid page to learn more about dynamic and integrated theme configuration.

Site-wide Themes

You can configure mermaid themes globally in config.toml via the params.mermaid parameter.

Diagram-specific Themes

To customize the theme of an individual diagram, use the init directive.

Example of init directive setting the theme to forest:
