    B -->|Yes| C[Action A]
    B -->|No| D[Action B]
    C --> E[End]
    D --> E
```

    Database-->>System: Return Result
    System-->>User: Send Response
```

    Processing --> Completed: finish
    Processing --> Error: fail
    Error --> Idle: retry

```

### Class Diagram
```markdown
```mermaid
classDiagram
    class Animal {
        +String name
        +int age
        +eat()
        +sleep()
    }
    
    class Dog {
        +String breed
        +bark()
    }
    
    Animal <|-- Dog
```

## 📋 Table of Contents (TOC)

Automatically generates a beautiful sidebar with table of contents based on your document headers.

## 🎨 Customizable Styling

Add custom CSS and JavaScript to enhance your documents.

# Options

- `to64` : convert local image URL to base64. add `--to64` to shell argument or add `to64` option to meta area.

# Meta Configuration

mdtree allows you to add more things to the html file:

- css
- js  
- title
- custom extensions

```markdown
---
title: Document with Mermaid Diagrams
js:
    https://example.com/custom.js
css:
    https://example.com/custom.css
---

# Your Content Here

```mermaid
graph LR
    A --> B
```
```

# Markdown Extensions

By default, these extensions are enabled:

```python
_md_extensions = [
    "markdown.extensions.meta",
    "markdown.extensions.attr_list", 
    "markdown.extensions.tables",
    "markdown.extensions.toc",
    "markdown.extensions.fenced_code",
    "markdown.extensions.codehilite",
    "markdown_mermaidjs",  # 🎉 NEW: Mermaid diagram support
]
```

You can customize them in the `meta` section:

```markdown
---
title: Custom Extensions Example  
js:
    https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mermaid@11/dist/mermaid.esm.min.mjs
css:
    https://example.com/custom.css
exts:
    markdown.extensions.wikilinks
    -markdown.extensions.codehilite
---
```

As you know, `markdown.extensions.wikilinks` will be added, and `-markdown.extensions.codehilite` which starts with `-` will be removed.

The name of the extensions should be the same as [https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/](https://python-markdown.github.io/extensions/)
