Description
This PR adds formal support for Mermaid diagrams, which are already recognised by GitHub's markup processor:
I've included
mermaid example
as an alias so that snippets of Mermaid source can be embeddedand highlighted without being physically rendered. It's already in-use by Mermaid's docs.@lildude I'm gauchely assuming that both the
.mmd
and.mermaid
extensions satisfy our popularity requirements. Correct me if I'm wrong. 😉Checklist:
Probably. See the @mention above.
.mmd
: ~10,572 results.mermaid
~810 resultsEach sample was either taken from Mermaid's documentation (which is MIT-licensed), or written by yours truly during development of
Alhadis/language-mermaid
.I have updated the heuristics to distinguish my language from others using the same extension.
