Enable `Mermaid diagrams` on github wiki and markdown files like the ones found here: http://knsv.github.io/mermaid/index.html.

For example add this to any wiki page or markdown file in github

```mermaid
sequenceDiagram

B->> C: Forward query
Note right of C: Thinking...
C->> B: Response
B->> A: Forward response

This will generate a nice diagram if loaded from github. The extension will just replace the code block with the generated diagram.

Marcelo Fernández (Respuesta Digital) (ID: 0000004c58fb448c) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/21/2023 I'm using ok this extension on google docs, I only have a problem with the invisible lines sintax (B~~~ Bcm2). I guess there is a problem with the special character ~

Simon Pratt (ID: 00000053f49761f4) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 01/11/2022 It doesn't allow you to modify the sites it can work against, preventing me from using it with the private github server I need to use. Unable to comment on the quality of the plugin, otherwise

Andrew Stanton (ID: 0000009a1dde94bc) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 04/13/2021 I wanted this to work, but it doesnt. There is just a blank space where the chart text was and where the image should be.
