## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
go get github.com/your-org/mermaid-go
```

### Enhanced Usage with Auto-Detection

```go
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "log"
    "mermaid-go/pkg/ast"
    "mermaid-go/pkg/detector"
    "mermaid-go/pkg/parser"
    "mermaid-go/pkg/renderer"
)

func main() {
    // Auto-detect and parse any Mermaid diagram type
    input := `sequenceDiagram
        participant U as User
        participant S as Server
        U -> S : request
        S --> U : response`

    // Create main parser with auto-detection
    mermaidParser := parser.NewMermaidParser()
    
    // Detect diagram type
    diagramType := mermaidParser.GetDiagramType(input)
    fmt.Printf("Detected diagram type: %s\n", diagramType)
    
    // Parse the diagram
    diagram, err := mermaidParser.Parse(input)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    // Render back to Mermaid syntax
    switch d := diagram.(type) {
    case *ast.SequenceDiagram:
        renderer := renderer.NewSequenceRenderer()
        output, _ := renderer.Render(d)
        fmt.Println(output)
    case *ast.StateDiagram:
        renderer := renderer.NewStateRenderer()
        output, _ := renderer.Render(d)
        fmt.Println(output)
    // ... handle other diagram types
    }
}
```

### Enhanced Sequence Diagrams

```go
// Parse a complex sequence diagram with loops, alternatives, and parallel sections
input := `
sequenceDiagram
    participant U as User
    participant W as WebApp
    participant S as Server
    participant D as Database
    
    U -> W : login request
    activate W
    
    loop Authentication
        W -> S : validate credentials
        S -> D : query user
        D --> S : user data
    end
    
    alt Valid credentials
        S --> W : success
        W --> U : login complete
    else Invalid credentials
        S --> W : failure
        W --> U : login failed
    end
    
    par User actions
        U -> W : browse content
    and Background tasks
        S -> D : cleanup sessions
    end
    
    deactivate W
    `
    
parser := parser.NewSequenceParser()
diagram, err := parser.Parse(input)
// ... rest of the code
```

### Enhanced State Diagrams

```go
// Parse a state diagram with guards, actions, and notes
input := `
stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> Idle
    Idle --> Processing : start [hasData] / processData
    Processing --> Idle : complete [success] / cleanup
    Processing --> Error : fail [error] / logError
    
    note right of Processing : Main processing state
    note left of Error : Error handling
    `
    
parser := parser.NewStateParser()
diagram, err := parser.Parse(input)
// ... rest of the code
```

## 🎯 Recent Enhancements

### 🧠 Intelligent Diagram Type Detection
- **Auto-Detection**: Automatically detects 24+ diagram types from input text
- **Priority-Based**: More specific patterns detected first (e.g., `stateDiagram-v2` before `stateDiagram`)
- **Robust Parsing**: Handles comments, directives, and front matter

### 🔧 Enhanced Lexical Analysis
- **Rich Arrow Support**: 20+ arrow types including bidirectional, dotted, crossed, and directional markers
- **Special State Handling**: Proper recognition of complex diagram declarations
- **Mermaid.js Compatibility**: Follows official mermaidjs lexical patterns

### 🏗️ Modular Architecture
- **Detector Registry**: Extensible system for adding new diagram types
- **Parser Router**: Centralized parsing with type-specific handlers
- **Clean Separation**: Lexical analysis, parsing, and rendering are fully decoupled

### Chinese Character Support

mermaid-go fully supports Unicode characters including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean:

```go
// Chinese pie chart
input := `pie showData
    title 2024年市场份额分析
    "阿里巴巴" : 35
    "腾讯" : 30
    "百度" : 20
    "字节跳动" : 15`

// Chinese sequence diagram  
input := `sequenceDiagram
    participant 用户 as 用户端
    participant 系统 as 后端系统
    用户 ->> 系统: 登录请求
    系统 -->> 用户: 登录响应`
```

### Command Line Usage

### Key Components

- **Lexer**: Tokenizes Mermaid syntax into a stream of tokens
- **Parser**: Builds Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) from token streams
- **AST**: Represents diagram structure in memory
- **Renderer**: Converts AST back to Mermaid syntax or other formats
