Currently, the Argdown Javascript tool (https://argdown.org/) is not integrated in Dendron. Supporting Argdown in Dendron would add functionality for "decision/argument mapping" using an existing tool, similar to the Mermaid Javascript tool.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make it possible to preview and publish Argdown code written inside code fences within markdown files. Similar to Mermaid, Argdown may be enabled in the dendron.yml file, e.g. argdown: true

Describe alternatives you've considered

Installing the Argdown VSCode extension allows the ability to write in Argdown and export the "argument map" as an image or pdf and then attach that in Dendron markdown files. However, this makes it inconvenient to see real-time changes to the "argument map" and make edits within the markdown file itself.

Additional context

Integrating the existing Argdown tool with Dendron will enhance note taking functionality in Dendron without having to reinvent the "argument mapping" wheel.

Given this has an existing extension and isn't on the critical path to some of the other major roadmap items for Dendron, I'm marking this help-wanted. Would love to include this in a release but it'll be challenging to get folks to work on this for a while unless another community member can pick this up.
