# Mermaid ELK This plugins brings back support for the [elk (eclipse layout kernel)](https://eclipse.dev/elk/) renderer for mermaidJS. To switch to the renderer you can prepend your mermaid diagram with the following code: ```yml --- config: layout: "elk" --- %% Your mermaid code here... ``` Have fun! ## Credits This plugin strongly depends on [@mermaid-js/layout-elk](https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid). Please support that project if you like it.
