Sequence diagram example from docs says it is "not syntactically correct"

[darkvertex]

This diagram below works in https://mermaid.live but not with the extension.

It is lifted from the docs: https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/sequenceDiagram.html#actor-creation-and-destruction-v10-3-0

(It is the create/destroy stuff that is breaking things. If I drop it, it renders. It is allegedly legal though!)

sequenceDiagram
    Alice->>Bob: Hello Bob, how are you ?
    Bob->>Alice: Fine, thank you. And you?
    create participant Carl
    Alice->>Carl: Hi Carl!
    create actor D as Donald
    Carl->>D: Hi!
    destroy Carl
    Alice-xCarl: We are too many
    destroy Bob
    Bob->>Alice: I agree

but the extensions says:

---

I am using the latest release version of the extension as of writing (v1.21.0) and this is my VSCode about info, if it helps:

Curiously, Github's own Mermaid rendering also struggles to render it if I put the "mermaid" indicator in the triple ticks: 🤔

sequenceDiagram
    Alice->>Bob: Hello Bob, how are you ?
    Bob->>Alice: Fine, thank you. And you?
    create participant Carl
    Alice->>Carl: Hi Carl!
    create actor D as Donald
    Carl->>D: Hi!
    destroy Carl
    Alice-xCarl: We are too many
    destroy Bob
    Bob->>Alice: I agree

If we drop the create/destroy bits, it renders in both GitHub and the extension:

sequenceDiagram
    Alice->>Bob: Hello Bob, how are you ?
    Bob->>Alice: Fine, thank you. And you?
    Alice->>Carl: Hi Carl!
    Carl->>D: Hi!
    Alice-xCarl: We are too many
    Bob->>Alice: I agree

Works fine for me

Try disabling all other extension to see if one of them is causing issues
