Mermaid diagrams

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current diagramming tool is great and generates cool looking images but they cannot be embedded natively in Github README's.

Describe the solution you'd like Add mermaid as an output option to the diagramming tool. This will generate a high fidelity, interactive diagram that can be embedded natively in README's on Github. Additional context Example mermaid diagram on github

Hello @ylhan,

last time I checked, there were some show stoppers:

• https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/1284
• https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/1342
• https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/issues/1493

it seems like two have been fixed and the third one is open but seems to be fixed as well. I guess I will give mermaid another try.

That's awesome! Is there anywhere I can sign up for updates?

You already have :). I will close this issue when mermaid support hits the main branch and post updates here about testing branches or mermaid issues. So GitHub will let you know in any case.

Any news on this one?
