Support for Mermaid and Asciidoctor diagrams #8

Closed DonClysdale closed 1 year ago

DonClysdale commented 1 year ago

It would be really nice to support Mermaid and asciidoctor diagrams in asciidoc pages, like mermaid diagrams are supported in eleventy for markdown pages.

The official Asciidoctor Diagram doesn't support Node.js. So, I don't plan to support for diagrams like Mermaid by default.

Having said that, I'll see whether it is possible to support Mermaid diagrams like I did for build time syntax highlighting for Asciidocs.

@DonClysdale I checked the feasibility of rendering Mermaid.js diagrams on build side. Unfortunately, Mermaid.js only renders the charts within a browser. The approaches out there are using headless browsers to render the charts. It is out of the scope of this plugin.

I recommend using a literal or code block of AsciiDoc to write Mermaid code, and use client-side rendering.

Here, https://github.com/saneef/eleventy-plugin-asciidoc-tester/commit/10414eede83f215aed3aef8ee2c0c13883f28f23, is how I set up client-side rendering of Mermaid.js with AsciiDoc.
