Mermaid extension not working for versions >8.13.0 #570

Closed dpdoughe closed 2 years ago

dpdoughe commented 3 years ago

Following the instruction in issue https://github.com/retext-project/retext/issues/535, I was able to get Mermaid diagrams to render nicely in retext ver 7.1.0-1.

The diagram creation works when including the script with e.g.

<script src="https://unpkg.com/mermaid@8.13.0/dist/mermaid.min.js"></script>

but stops working for any versions after 8.13.0. For example, the diagram is no longer rendered if I use

<script src="https://unpkg.com/mermaid@8.13.1/dist/mermaid.min.js"></script>

Is there a way to know if this is a problem in retext or a problem with the Python extension md-mermaid ?

Thank you!

Are you using WebKit or WebEngine renderer?

It may be that the new version requires JS features which are not supported by WebKit.

dpdoughe commented 3 years ago

I am using WebKit renderer. How does one enable WebEngine render? I don't even see an option for that one under the Edit menu.

Unfortunately the current stable version doesn't even show Qt WebEngine option if there is WebKit available.

Please replace useWebKit=true with useWebEngine=true in the configuration file (~/.config/ReText project/ReText.conf), then restart ReText. You still won't see the option, but it will use the new renderer.

The latest version in master removed support for Qt WebKit, leaving only Qt WebEngine, so I'm closing this bug.
