Links in mermaid diagrams result in broken images.

[gstamp]

If I add links in a kroki mermaid diagram using the click directive it fails to render the image.

graph TD
    user([User]) --> |Edits| owner_definition[Owner definition]
    click owner_definition "https://github.com/SEEK-Jobs/owners" "owners"

If I take that last line out it renders fine but obviously I don't get a clickable link.

I tried the same diagram in Try Kroki and it worked fine so I suspect the issue is somewhere in mkdocs-kroki-plugin.

Here's an example

This plugin puts the images in markdown image notation (![Kroki](image-url)).

MkDocs then represents these images in img-tags, that do not support any dynamic actions or contents.

To support this, we would need to rework the current approach.

Could you please verify, if merged #46 fixed your problem too.

I can't get it to work. Still building images with kroki but results in HTTP 400.

Using:

• mkdocs-kroki-plugin==0.7.0
• mkdocs-techdocs-core==1.3.2

Update: Using local Kroki server works

#File: app-config.local.yaml
# Backstage override configuration for your local development environment
proxy:
  ### Example for how to add a proxy endpoint for the frontend.
  ### A typical reason to do this is to handle HTTPS and CORS for internal services.
  endpoints:
    '/kroki':
      target: 'http://kroki-core'
      changeOrigin: true

@wac2007 ,
I believe that the official/public kroki-render-server (kroki.io) is broken, because even their own examples won't work at the moment (and using a local one works fine).

Hint:
this issue is for a specific kind of broken images (when rendered with embedded links), so please open a new issue for not related problems.
(Don't be offended, it is just to keep the issues clean and separated in their own thread)

[oniboni]

Images with links now get XML errors because the namespace is not set by kroki-mermaid (xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" missing in svg tag).

Possible solutions:

• fix this, like the mermaid-live-editor does this + set target="_parent" in all links, so that they are not only opened in the image frame.
• remove all link tags

Both can be done easily with beautifylsoup4, but I do not know, If more dependencies are the right way to go.. 🤔
