### Philosophy

I don't intend for `erd` to have a large feature set with a lot of options for
customizing the appearance of ER diagrams. `erd` should produce diagrams that
are "good enough" from simple plain text descriptions without a lot of
complexity. `erd` will implicitly trust GraphViz to "do the right thing"
without a lot of fiddling with its options.

If you require more exotic needs, then I suggest that either `erd` is not the
right tool, *or* you could use `erd` to output an `er` file as a `dot` file.
You can then customize it further manually or using some other tool.
