Text is cut-off in labels workaround for use with this pandoc-filter

[ghost]

This is not really an issue, but a workaround I would like to share with other users.

This issue has a proposed workaround which requires that I pass the -c option with a config file to mermaid. In this pandoc filter I did not find a way to pass this option (correct me if I'm wrong), so I found a workaround.

I added the -c option in the mmdc.cmd file directly to pass the CSS:

@IF EXIST "%~dp0\node.exe" (
  "%~dp0\node.exe"  "%~dp0\..\mermaid.cli\index.bundle.js" %* "-c" "c:\Users\username\node_modules\mermaid.cli\mermaid-config.json"
) ELSE (
  @SETLOCAL
  @SET PATHEXT=%PATHEXT:;.JS;=;%
  node  "%~dp0\..\mermaid.cli\index.bundle.js" %* "-c" "c:\Users\username\node_modules\mermaid.cli\mermaid-config.json"
)

Where mermaid-config.json looks like:

{
    "themeCSS": ".label foreignObject { font-size: 14px; }"
}

Now the charts rendered by this filter show the labels correctly again.

Thanks! Should we maybe add an env variable for options or something like that?

That would be great of course, e.g. a MERMAID_CFG similar to the PUPPETEER_CFG
