Nothing is better than to actually show others your ideas in a professional way instead of scribbled on a notepad. So although this is not dynamic charting, it still allows you to flow chart your plan in a very stylish easy on the eye way, using mermaid-js:-

%%{init: { 'theme': 'forest' } }%%
graph LR
   A(Get an idea) -->|Process idea| B(Build idea)
    B --> C{Tell everyone else?}
    C -->|Yes| D[Get lots of new friends]
    C -->|No| E[Carry on life as normal]

Apart from simple flow charts, there are many more complex charts that all use simple markdown to create. More information using the link below.

So Retype at the current version which is 2.3.0 which I built the Powershell module on currently has 19 different types of components which all allow you to do something visually impressive on your documentation website page. So I do strongly recommend you visit the official Retype site to get the complete listing of components available

• Super easy to use
• Super quick results
• Version 2.4

Retype works on any platform and any system architecture, so to me there is no excuses to not have a dabble with Retype, you just need a modern version of Powershell installed, as this uses the dotnet 6.0 framework to run on.
