4. Run a docker container with this Docker image to create png and svg.

Example

• render both formats (svg + png): -s -p
• width of the png: 600 pixel: -w 600
• apply custom stylesheet mermaid.neutral.css from local file -t mermaid.neutral.css
• name of local file containing graph config: myflowchart.mmd

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/data:z -u "$UID:$GID" felixlohmeier/mermaid -s -p -w 600 -t mermaid.neutral.css myflowchart.mmd
