Feature Reqeuest : Integrating Mermaid.js into NocoDB Document Page

[rupadana]

1. Executive Summary
   The goal of this proposal is to integrate Mermaid.js into the NocoDB ecosystem. This will allow users and contributors to render flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and entity-relationship diagrams (ERDs) directly within Markdown files and potentially within the UI (e.g., long-text fields or description blocks).

2. Problem Statement
   Currently, technical documentation and database schemas within NocoDB projects often rely on static images or external links for visualization. This leads to:

• Maintenance Overhead: Images must be re-exported and re-uploaded every time a schema changes.
• Lack of Version Control: Diagrams stored as binaries (PNG/JPG) cannot be easily diffed in Git.
• Inconsistency: Different contributors use different tools to create visuals.

3. Proposed Solution: Mermaid.js
   Mermaid.js is a JavaScript-based diagramming and charting tool that renders Markdown-inspired text definitions into dynamic diagrams.
