Flowchart with vertical and horizontal arrows

[altomani]

I could not figure how to produce a chart like the one below:

A->B is vertical, B->C horizontal, and A->C diagonal.

Is this kind of shape already supported in mermaid?

 ┌───┐
 │ A │
 └─┬─┘
   │  \
   │   \
   │    \
   │     \
   ▼      V
 ┌───┐     ┌───┐
 │ B ├────>┤ C │
 └───┘     └───┘

Mermaid does not provide granular control of placement of nodes.

It seems like this is by design and this design decision should be noted in the documentation.

[e-pet]

It would be great to have even a tiny bit of control over placement, e.g., to force nodes to be placed on the same level such as in OP's example.

[wobbba]

It could be as simple as adding another control character which signals to ignore a connection for placement:

§ B --> C

where § would be the example for such a control character.
