Obsidian - Mapping Relationships Using Mermaid

[@VinitKhandagle]

Breadcrumbs will be an awesome followup video on this

I tend to cut down the code instead of defining the pages to link to separately the first time I use the point I define it. Reduces the code significantly: A(Old World) --- B(Gates of Barovia) B --3--- E(Village of Barovia) E --3--- F(River Ivlis Crossroads) F --1.5--- G(Tser Pool Encampment) F --6--- H(Tser Falls)

I also liked the MegaHits ;)

Interestingly, I just recently imported some more of my material from Realmworks relating to people and I had a number of relationship links set in Realmworks that automatically converted to mermaid diagrams quite nicely.

This will be very useful to define the geneology of my races, in my setting: Elves are Human + Eladrin (extinct) Orcs are Goblinoid + Eladrin (extinct)

Check out my latest video on using the Excalidraw Plugin. It's much easier and the result is much better IMHO.

[@ZeroAR]

Working my way through your Obsidian playlist just now... Is this use case of Mermaid basically obsolete compared to the Core plugin Canvas now?

[@JoshPlunkett]

I certainly don't use it. I prefer Excalidraw myself

[@MattMGK]

@@JoshPlunkett Do you mean you use Excalidraw instead of Mermaid, or Canvas?

[@JoshPlunkett]

@MattMGK sure do. Mermaid is terribly clunky given its all text controlled. I did try canvas and I like it. But it's not quite right for flow charts. I much prefer Excalidraw.

@@JoshPlunkett Welp on to that video then! Thank you very much :D (btw you are a god for all of these videos, brand new to Obsidian and MY GOD these videos have been beyond valuable!!!)

[@JoshPlunkett]

@@MattMGK skip over to here. If I don't have a video listed. It's because I don't recommend it anymore. www.obsidianttrpgtutorials.com
