�� Tips for Using Diagrams

✅ Study one at a time with corresponding course module
✅ Take notes while studying each diagram
✅ Relate concepts across different diagrams
✅ Create variations by modifying .mmd files
✅ Share with team for better knowledge sharing
✅ Print diagrams for quick reference
✅ Export to images for presentations

🔧 Customizing Diagrams

Each .mmd file is editable text. You can:

  • Change colors: style A fill:#3498db
  • Add more nodes: A --> B["New node"]
  • Modify text: "Your custom text"
  • Adjust styling for your needs

Example modification:

graph TD
    A["Your Node"] --> B["Next Node"]
    style A fill:#your-color
