Kanban Board

Last updated:

Mermaid Studio provides language support for Kanban board diagrams inside IntelliJ IDEA and other JetBrains IDEs. Kanban diagrams visualize task boards with columns representing workflow stages and cards representing individual tasks.

Syntax highlighting integrates directly with IntelliJ’s color scheme system, so diagram colors always match your editor theme.

Mermaid Studio provides enhanced support for kanban boards:

  • Syntax highlighting for columns and tasks
  • Rename refactoring to update column identifiers
  • Code folding to collapse columns
  • Inspections to detect structural issues
  • Brace matching for column boundaries

For complete syntax documentation including task metadata and styling, see the Mermaid.js Kanban documentation.
