Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid
I like this approach of using the tag associated with a code block to determine how to render the output. It's the same approach I take in my markdown-derived markup language: https://github.com/smasher164/mexdown.
The top example there takes a GraphViz description and passes it into the dot command, placing the resultant SVG into the HTML output.

Show HN: JWEB (a modern implementation of the CWEB Literate Programming system)
This is similar to the approach I take in my markup language: https://github.com/smasher164/mexdown. Pipe the body of a code block to the command's stdin, and replace the code block with its output.

Knuth's idea on "Literate Programming"
Before I knew this I thought it would be a good idea to modernize CWEB so I wrote JWEB.

What are some alternatives?
When comparing mexdown and jweb you can also consider the following projects:
Mermaid - Edit, preview and share mermaid charts/diagrams. New implementation of the live editor.
aasvg - Turn ASCII art into SVG
markup - Determines which markup library to use to render a content file (e.g. README) on GitHub
RawParser - Showing how a grammar driven parser can be implemented
asciitosvg - Create beautiful SVG renderings of ASCII diagrams.
