This example shows a lineage diagram of Zen Buddhism schools, tracing the flow from Chinese Chán through the Five Houses to Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and modern Western traditions. The visualization uses the Mermaid library to render a state diagram from a `diagram.mermaid` file, with the `stateDiagram-v2` syntax defining states and transitions. The HTML page fetches the Mermaid definition, renders it to SVG via `mermaid.render()`, and adjusts the SVG to be responsive. The diagram is styled with a neutral theme and the Tagesschrift font.
