  A[An Otter Wiki]-- supports ---Mermaid

Mermaid support all kinds of diagrams: flowcharts, class diagrams, pie charts, mindmaps, etc. For more information see the Mermaid Documentation. Embeddings An Otter Wiki supports Embeddings which are beyond the official Markdown syntax. {{AttachmentList}}: Render the attachments to the current page as table. {{DataTable}}: Renders sort-, search and pageable tables. {{ImageFrame}}: Render an image/images in a framed box next to the main content. {{InfoBox}}: Render structured information next to the main content in a standardized way {{Video}}: Embed a video from an url or an attachment See the Syntax/Embedding Guide for details. Remark There's actually a lot more to Markdown than this. See the official introduction and syntax for more information. Please Note: An Otter Wiki is not using the official implementation. This might lead to small differences in the little things.
