# A basic mermaid User-Guide for Beginners
Creating diagrams and charts using mermaid code is simple.
The code is turned into a diagram in the web page with the use of a mermaid renderer.
mermaid allows you to dynamically code and modify diagrams.
when called, mermaid renders code definitions into a diagram in SVG format.
The mermaid renderer is a piece of javascript that parses mermaid definitions, when called.
This then renders a diagram based on that code in SVG.
