Defining

The structure is essentially identical to a Markdown list, with indentation forming all the logic:

mindmap
    Middle element
        Branch 1
        Branch 2
        Branch 3
        Branch 4
            Sub-branch 1
            Sub-branch 2
            Sub-branch 3
                Sub-sub-branch 1

Shapes

You can shape each element within the mindmap:

mindmap
    Default shape
        [square]
        (rounded square)
        ((circle))
        ))bang((
        )cloud(
        {{hexagon}}

        )cloud(
        {{hexagon}}

Icons & Markdown

Each element can also add custom icons, if using an icon pack like Font Awesome (fa fa-x) or Material Design (mdi mdi-x). These will not work directly on GitHub without additional configuration (including stylesheets).

Additionally, basic Markdown formatting (bold & italic) works within node names:

mindmap
    Root
        **Bold** text
        ::icon(fa fa-book)
        *Italic* text
        ::icon(mdi mdi-skull-outline)
