No it can not. That's an interesting idea, though, but one would need to navigate/differentiate between the rendered output text and the Mermaid diagram code.

Hi, I wanted to add some clarification on this topic. I am Knut Sveidqvist, the inventor of Mermaid and creator of the Mermaid open-source project. I'm also the co-founder of Mermaid Chart. To address the confusion: Mermaid Chart is no

More good input! Appreciate it. What about PNG export? It seems more direct than a PDF to me.

That's good feedback. The icons are not bundled into Mermaid itself due to copyright concerns. The approach you suggest would make sense, though.

You are right! A light plugin was released then. Now, we have added lots of new functionality. Proper editing with syntax highlighting, etc. Apart from that, we have also added integration with GitHub Copilot, so you can generate diagrams f

Glad you love Mermaid! As both the creator of Mermaid and the founder of Mermaid Chart, I can honestly say that both are close to my heart. My hope with Mermaid Chart was to spend more daytime hours working with Mermaid, improving it, and m

Knut, Mermaid's creator here. I agree that layout auto-adjustments in flowcharts can be problematic, especially when subgraphs represent architectural subsystems as they are not really flowcharts. :) I'm developing a new Mermaid d

Some thoughts on special cases, a love-hate relationship, I guess :)
