Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid
Re: https://github.com/github/markup/issues/533
I’m the main author of KeenWrite (see screenshots), a type of desktop Markdown editor that supports diagrams. It’s encouraging to see that Mermaid diagrams are being supported in GitHub. There are a few drawbacks on the syntax and implications of using MermaidJS.
First, only browser-based SVG renderers can correctly parse Mermaid diagrams. I’ve tested Apache Batik, svgSalamander, resvg, rsvg-convert, svglib, CairoSVG, ConTeXt, and QtSVG. See issue 2485. This implies that typesetting Mermaid diagrams is not currently possible. In effect, by including Mermaid diagrams, many documents will be restricted to web-based output, excluding the possibility of producing PDF documents based on GitHub markdown documents (for the foreseeable future).
Second, there are numerous text-to-diagram facilities available beyond Mermaid. The server at https://kroki.io/ supports Mermaid, PlantUML, Graphviz, byte fields, and many more. While including MermaidJS is a great step forward, supporting Kroki diagrams would allow a much greater variety. (Most diagrams produced in MermaidJS can also be crafted in Graphviz, albeit with less terse syntax.)
Third, see the CommonMark discussion thread referring to a syntax for diagrams. It’s unfortunate that a standard “namespace” concept was not proposed.
Fourth, KeenWrite integrates Kroki. To do so, it uses a variation on the syntax:
``` diagram-mermaid -
Footnotes now supported in GitHub Markdown
I thought it only rendered files in the repo (match by extension). Does GH also allow asciidoc(tor) syntax in comments and issues?
* Note: Sadly, include is not supported on GH. https://github.com/github/markup/issues/1095
