# Visualize your wiki

> Explore an OpenWiki Markdown wiki with a local interactive node graph and reader

For exploring OpenWiki Markdown wikis, `openwiki visualize` serves a local interactive node graph beside a live Markdown reader in your browser.

## Open the visualizer

From a repository that already has an `openwiki/` directory:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}}
openwiki visualize
```

This serves `./openwiki` on `127.0.0.1:4321` and opens your browser to the graph. Edits to wiki files are picked up automatically while the server runs.

## Options

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}}
openwiki visualize openwiki --port 4400 --no-open
```

| Argument / flag | Description                                                                  |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `[path]`        | Wiki directory to serve. Defaults to `./openwiki`                            |
| `--port <port>` | Preferred port. Defaults to `4321`. Increments if the port is already in use |
| `--no-open`     | Do not open the browser automatically                                        |

To explore a personal wiki:

```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"catppuccin-latte","dark":"catppuccin-mocha"}}
openwiki visualize ~/.openwiki/wiki
```

The visualizer shows:

* An interactive node graph of wiki concepts and the Markdown links between them
* A side-by-side live Markdown reader for the selected page

The graph does not show `INSTRUCTIONS.md` and other scaffolding files.
