Summary

That's a wrap for this chapter! Let's recollect what we've learned. First, we understood the importance of documentation. We gained general insights that helped us distinguish between bad documentation and good documentation. We also explored the concept of efficient documentation and how Mermaid and Markdown can be a perfect solution to achieve this. We then learned about key features that make developers love and adopt Mermaid.

In the next chapter, you will learn about the core crux of getting started with Mermaid. You will be exposed to different ways in which Mermaid can be used and applied, be it adding Mermaid to your website or using different tools and editors' plugins that have already integrated and adopted Mermaid. We will also look at how to work with documentation using Markdown and using our own custom Mermaid-powered documentation system with version control.
