[Feature requests] Mermaid support

[EliasGabrielsson]

What?

Supporting mermaid would be a good addon.
Have a look at this example how it could be integrated:

How

There is a mermaid only implementation to atom today.
Maybe its possible to integrate it directly?

+1 I also need this feature!

Markdown editor that already has mermaid support - https://cloose.github.io/CuteMarkEd/. It would be really great if atom had one.

@EliasGabrielsson @stasberkov Thanks so much for the suggestion and I really apologise for taking so long to reply to your feature request.

We use markdown-it as our markdown parser and in theory its possible to extend it with a plugin to support the mermaid syntax. Unfortunately it doesn't look like such a plugin already exists and it is not something I would have the time to implement myself.

I will label this as a wont-implement however if you or anyone else would like to implement it I would be happy to consider a PR. Thanks again @EliasGabrielsson @stasberkov

Mermaid seems to be supported by markdown-preview-enhanced now. But that project is pretty young, so I would not use it in production (at least for now).
