I recently released a version of my free and open-source text editor, KeenWrite, that embeds requests to Kroki[0]. Kroki provides a REST API for generating many types of diagrams, including Mermaid diagrams. KeenWrite provides users with the ability to reference variables within the text. Combined, they make it easy to apply the DRY principle to documentation.[1] Even though the request goes over HTTPS, the diagrams are drawn in nearly real-time (and cached). The screenshots show GraphViz diagrams, but changing "graphviz" to "mermaid" at the start of the code block will permit drawing Mermaid diagrams. See the video[2] for more ideas on how to mix variables with documentation.
