A Gantt chart is a type of bar chart that illustrates a project schedule. JotterPad uses Mermaid.js to design and preview Gantt chart in Markdown files.

Add Gantt chart using Mermaid

Gantt chart can be added using Mermaid Gantt chart syntax in JotterPad's Markdown code block. To declare Mermaid in the code block to be rendered globally, use codeBlockRenderAs: mermaid in the Markdown file's YAML.

To declare Mermaid to render on individual code block,

1. Type 3 backticks (```) at the start of the code followed by space or return key.
2. Press the </> button at the top right corner.
3. Choose Mermaid.
4. Add renderAs=mermaid in metadata.

Supported Metadata:

Use , to add multiple parameters. E.g. renderAs=mermaid, height=200.

Example:

gantt
