ablauf

Ablauf is a text-based diagram format and renderer focused on flows and fan-out outcome diagrams. It allows authors to precisely control diagram layout, producing deterministic SVG output. It differs from Mermaid by not performing automatic layout, instead letting authors specify exact node positions and edge routes, ensuring small edits do not disturb the overall diagram placement. It includes a live playground for editing and rendering diagrams, supports integration in build scripts, and is open source under MIT license.
