Graphviz: Open-source graph visualization software
Autogenerated database documentation is often pretty hit and miss but tbls[1] does a pretty good job in that space. Especially when you comment on your tables, fields, views, functions etc (which is a good habit anyway!) the output is quite useful

Lesser Known PostgreSQL Features
In-database comments combined with something like https://github.com/k1LoW/tbls make for very cheap database documentation.
No affiliation with tbls except that I'm a big fan

A CSS-Inspired Syntax for Flowcharts
That's interesting. It's not hard to see the problem. HTML labels don't help, either. How do other languages solve this? Like, a shell HERE document that has one fixed string as a terminator? The graphviz lexer https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/cgraph/... seems hackable but disabling downstream processing of escapes elsewhere would be necessary too. Possibly this would mean bypassing some of the processing in the function make_label in https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/common/...
It's a disappointment or even failure of our current language scanning and parsing tools or, really, the way we used them, that this is not an easy exercise.
