Is there a way to show flowchart ? #266

Closed rishabhjain4 closed 3 months ago

rishabhjain4 commented 3 months ago

I usually use Mermaid as it is supported by Gist tool on github. Is it something in the roadmap for this feature or already present but not mentioned in the documentation?

I can acheive this using Latex flowchart and render it, but I was thinking of using flowchart with the pause functionality of the presenterm tool.

I think this is a great idea. This can work with the +render modifier like latex rendering works. I'll implement this soon, it shouldn't be a huge deal.

Mermaid support would be pretty killer here, since it's easier to learn than latex for most people.

Additionally, github supports mermaid so being able to have our markdowns rendered via github with mermaid also easy to convert into slides to show via presenterm would be very cool and powerful

I just created this PR (https://github.com/mfontanini/presenterm/pull/268). It would be nice if you could test it and let me know if anything looks odd. The mermaid cli is pretty slow so presenterm will hang for a bit on startup in a presentation that contains a mermaid snippet. This is something that can be improved separately.

This is great. I was wondering about the same thing.

I need to create a presentation for work next week, and I think I can try this out then. No need to wait for me, of course - but I think an extra pair of eyes never hurts 🙂
