> @piranna Can you give us a sense of how this is currently used across GitHub? Is there an extension for the file format, for example?
I've not seen anybody using it on GitHub, maybe because it's not an available functionality, nor know of any browser extensión.
On the other hand, I've seen a webservice that generate PNG images from Mermaid snippets that can be inserted on Markdown files (sorry, I can't find the link now) and a quick search has shown me other use cases, like a plugin for gitbook, a plugin for LightTable and a plugin for Jekyll (maybe you would be more interested in that last one).
