I am unfamiliar with mermaid/pandoc.

For those like me;

how do I know if mermaid is on my path? mmdc works
- ... you meant this right? https://github.com/mermaidjs/mermaid.cli
this works on windows ... right?

Not sure if still relevant, but I can answer your questions:

You need to create the environment variable MERMAID_BIN and set it to where npm or yarn installed the mmdc binary. In my case I set the environment variable to c:\Users\username\node_modules\.bin\mmdc.cmd. Note that I pointed it to the mmdc.cmd, not to the plain mmdc file which is in that same folder.
Yes, this works on Windows if you follow above step. If not, post back with an error message.
