Mermaid Block Placement Guide

1. Open a post or page in the WordPress block editor.
2. Click + Add block.
3. Search for Mermaid or PlusMagi Blocks + Mermaid.
4. Insert the Mermaid block.
5. Paste Mermaid syntax (for example graph TD\nA-->B).
6. Confirm the live preview in editor.
7. Publish and verify diagram rendering on frontend.

Tips:

• Use one Mermaid diagram per block for cleaner editing.
• For long technical articles, split diagrams into multiple Mermaid blocks.
• If preview does not render, check Mermaid syntax first (missing arrows, brackets, keywords).

Table Style Guide

1. Insert or select a standard Gutenberg Table block.
2. Open the block settings sidebar and expand Table Design.
3. Choose one of the 107 styles.
4. Optionally enable Banded Columns.
5. Choose None at any time to remove the design without changing table content.

Table Styles extend the native Gutenberg Table block. They do not add a heading to published content.
