<p>I have the following mermaid diagram, which I have validated on <a href="https://mermaid.live" rel="nofollow noreferrer">mermaid.live</a> and intend to use it on the Wiki section of Azure DevOps:</p>
<pre><code>sequenceDiagram
    box Container;
    participant A as Container A;
    participant B as Container B;
    end;
</code></pre>
<p>I know that the wiki for Azure DevOps has support for mermaid diagrams, but for some reason it doesn't render if I include the <code>box</code> block above. Is this a version problem? If so, is there a way to update it mermaid to the latest version?</p>
<p>I also would like to know if it is possible to use Azure Architecture icons within these diagrams.</p>

# Using Azure Icons and Boxes on Azure DevOps with Mermaid

(Asked by: username_0 on 2023-02-27)

I have the following mermaid diagram, which I have validated on mermaid.live and intend to use it on the Wiki section of Azure DevOps:
sequenceDiagram
    box Container;
    participant A as Container A;
    participant B as Container B;
    end;

I know that the wiki for Azure DevOps has support for mermaid diagrams, but for some reason it doesn't render if I include the box block above. Is this a version problem? If so, is there a way to update it mermaid to the latest version?
I also would like to know if it is possible to use Azure Architecture icons within these diagrams.

I found that a lot of syntax for mermaid is not supported in Azure DevOps. See [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/project/wiki/wiki-markdown-guidance?view=azure-devops) where is stated:

I've tested your syntax as well and I can confirm it wouldn't load here as well, only without the box.
