# [markdown-mermaid-cli](https://hkato.github.io/markdown-mermaid-cli/)
[](https://pypi.org/project/markdown-mermaid-cli/)


[Mermaid][mermaid] extension for [Python-Markdown][python-markdown] using [Mermaid-CLI][mermaid-cli].
This extension converts Mermaid diagram code blocks into Base64 encoded [data: URI][data-uri].
This enables PDF generation with tools like [MkDocs to PDF][mkdocs-to-pdf]/[WeasyPrint][wasyprint]
without requiring client-side JavaScript.
## Install
```sh
pip install markdown-mermaid-cli
```
## Requirements
### Mermaid CLI
> Chrome or Chromium is required to run Mermaid-CLI.
```sh
npm install @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli
```
or
```sh
npm install --global @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli
```
## Usage
- code block start with <code>```mermaid</code>
- code block end with <code>```</code>
options:
```markdown
formant=[svg|png] {img attribute}="value" {cli option}="value"`
```
- format (optional): Output image format (defaults to svg)
- img attribute (optional): alt, width, height, class, id, style, title
- cli option (optional): theme, width, height, backgroundColor, svgId, scale (refer to `mmdc -h`)
### [MkDocs][mkdocs] Integration
```yaml
# mkdocs.yml
markdown_extensions:
- markdown_mermaid_cli
```
### [Pelican][pelican] Integration
```py
# pelicanconf.py
MARKDOWN = {
'extension_configs': {
'markdown.extensions.codehilite': {'css_class': 'highlight'},
'markdown.extensions.extra': {},
'markdown_mermaid_cli': {}, # Add this
},
'output_format': 'html5',
}
```
### Python code
````python
import markdown
from markdown_mermaid_cli import MermaidExtension
markdown_text = """```mermaid
sequenceDiagram
participant Alice
participant Bob
Bob->>Alice: Hi Alice
Alice->>Bob: Hi Bob
```"""
html_output = markdown.markdown(
markdown_text, extensions=[MermaidExtension()]
)
print(html_output)
````
```html
