Feature request: Mermaid support

Site Feedback

Sometimes it can be easier to lay the groundwork for discussion or illustrate problems/solutions using diagrams instead of words and sentences.

Discourse has an official theme component that adds support for Mermaid, which is one of the most common text-based diagramming tools.

Would it be possible to add this feature to Ziggit?

I tried to get the Mermaid plugin, but it failed to install correctly. I have enabled the graphviz plugin.
