Frequently asked questions
Will Mermaid diagrams render?+
Mermaid code blocks pass through as preformatted text. Pre-render diagrams to PNG and embed as images for PDF output.
Can I include sequence diagrams?+
Same as Mermaid — pre-render to images. Tools like draw.io export to SVG which embeds cleanly.
Is the PDF accessible?+
Heading hierarchy is preserved which helps screen readers. Full PDF accessibility (PDF/UA) requires a dedicated converter post-export.
