The given command is using a tool called mmdc to convert a Mermaid diagram (MMD) file into an SVG format file. Let's break it down:
mmdc
: It is the command-line tool for the Mermaid diagram compiler (mmdc).--input ${input-mmd}
: This flag specifies the input MMD file. The${input-mmd}
is likely a placeholder for the actual input MMD file name, which you would need to replace with the actual file name/path.--output ${output-svg}
: This flag indicates the output file format and specifies the name of the resulting SVG file. Here,${output-svg}
is again a placeholder, and it should be substituted with the desired output file name/path.--theme ${select}
: This flag defines the theme or visual style to be applied to the generated SVG file. The${select}
is most likely another placeholder representing a theme name. You would have to replace it with the desired theme name, such asdefault
orforest
.
To use this command correctly, you need to replace the placeholder variables with the actual file names/paths and theme name you want to apply. For example, if your input MMD file is called diagram.mmd
, you want the output SVG file as output.svg
, and you want to apply the forest
theme, the command would look like this:
mmdc --input diagram.mmd --output output.svg --theme forest

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
