Why this pattern works

A structured Markdown sample is rendered as a branching map in the adjacent pane.

Design notes

Surface: Markmap — Markdown mind map
Navigation: Source editor at left and spacious mind-map preview at right.
Layout: Source editor at left and spacious mind-map preview at right.
Density: A large main workspace is supported by compact task controls.
Color: White, light gray and colored branches
Type: Small utility labels keep the visual workspace dominant.
Pattern: A structured Markdown sample is rendered as a branching map in the adjacent pane.
States: Public built-in example as captured; sample content is demonstration data.
Don't: Use the layout as a reference with your own content and identity. The still does not verify interactive behavior.

## Objective
Adapt the interaction and layout patterns below to my project. Use my own content and identity. Do not reproduce logos, proprietary copy, or brand assets.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
