Ideation
Hugo Blox supports a Markdown extension for mindmaps.
Simply insert a Markdown code block labelled as markmap and optionally set the height of the mindmap as shown in the example below.
Mindmaps can be created by simply writing the items as a Markdown list within the markmap code block, indenting each item to create as many sub-levels as you need:
```markmap {height="200px"}
- Hugo Modules
- Hugo Blox
- netlify
- netlify-cms
- slides
```
renders as
- Hugo Modules - Hugo Blox - netlify - netlify-cms - slides
Diagrams
Hugo Blox supports the Mermaid Markdown extension for diagrams.
An example Gantt diagram:
```mermaid

Completed :done, des1, 2014-01-06,2014-01-08
Active :active, des2, 2014-01-07, 3d

Parallel 2 : des4, after des1, 1d
Parallel 3 : des5, after des3, 1d
Parallel 4 : des6, after des4, 1d
```
