excalidraw diagrams

sublimated supports excalidraw diagrams in two ways:

standalone .excalidraw files

create an .excalidraw file (JSON format). sublimated renders it server-side on push — no JavaScript needed in the browser.

see the excalidraw docs for supported element types, demos, and details.

content block transclusion

embed an existing .excalidraw file using iA Writer or Obsidian content block syntax:

/diagrams/architecture.excalidraw

or:

![[architecture.excalidraw]]

the pre-rendered SVG from the file's render_svg representation is embedded inline — zero re-rendering cost. same mechanism as mermaid content blocks.
