[Feature request] generate mermaid instead of images

No

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to be able to generate mermaid instead of SVG/images, so we could embed the output directly into places that support it , like on GitHub.

quick example:

graph TD
    A[Thievery] -->|Get money| B(Go shopping)
    B --> C{Let me think}
    C -->|One| D[Laptop]
    C -->|Two| E[iPhone]
    C -->|Three| F[fa:fa-car Car]

I actually have this on my mind since a few months but was wondering if it would be useful or not for users.

Will see what I can do. Should be doable now that the rendering part is separated from the parser.

@briantist You can take a look at some graphs in mermaid here: https://github.com/haidaraM/ansible-playbook-grapher/actions/runs/4954157710/attempts/1#summary-13421932864

Still need to do more tests and fix some issues but it should look like something like this
