Typora supports some Markdown extensions for diagrams, once they are enabled from preference panel.

When exporting as HTML, PDF, epub, docx, those rendered diagrams will also be included, but diagrams features are not supported when exporting markdown into other file formats in current version. Besides, you should also notice that diagrams is not supported by standard Markdown, CommonMark or GFM. Therefore, we still recommend you to insert an image of these diagrams instead of write them in Markdown directly.

1. Sequence Diagrams

This feature uses js-sequence, which turns the following code block into a rendered diagram:

Alice->Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?
Note right of Bob: Bob thinks
Bob-->Alice: I am good thanks

For more details, please see this syntax explanation.

2. Flowcharts

This feature uses flowchart.js, which turns the following code block into a rendered diagram:

st=>start: Start
op=>operation: Your Operation
cond=>condition: Yes or No?
e=>end

st->op->cond
cond(yes)->e
cond(no)->op

3. Mermaid

Typora also has integration with mermaid, which supports sequence diagrams, flowcharts, Gantt charts, class and state diagrams, and pie charts.

3.1 Sequence Diagrams

For more details see these instructions.

%% Example of sequence diagram
  sequenceDiagram
    Alice->>Bob: Hello Bob, how are you?

    Bob->>Alice: Not so good :(
    else is well
    Bob->>Alice: Feeling fresh like a daisy
    end
    opt Extra response
    Bob->>Alice: Thanks for asking
    end

3.2 Flowcharts

A[Hard edge] -->B(Round edge)
    B --> C{Decision}
    C -->|One| D[Result one]
    C -->|Two| E[Result two]
