Mermaid is fantastic. Aside from mermaid, I've recently been introduced to nomnoml (https://nomnoml.com/ https://nomnoml.com/) and it is fantastic as well. My wish is for Mermaid and nomnoml to become universally supported among Markdown web renderers (I'm looking first and foremost at Github of course).

I love mermaid, but I'm also very annoyed by the variety of how its implemented in different markdown editors. One thing that I find quite annoying is the lack of fontawesome support - afaik only the live mermaid editor and hack.md supports it out of the box. Other editors require a lot of .conf file editing. Thanks for the tip of nomnoml, didn't know about it.

I'm using mermaid to render this route map for interactive fiction: https://fiction.live/tsukihime/Satsuki-Yumizuka-Route/4B9obcHdi7CLnaid9/routes https://fiction.live/tsukihime/Satsuki-Yumizuka-Route/4B9obc... How does nomnoml compare? The results are with mermaid are not ideal for me. Edit: That one above is actually relatively decent. The results with mermaid can get a lot worse, actually to the point of uselessness. Terrible examples below https://fiction.live/stories/The-Hypno-Games/eSSzPJ6qiqAC7466i/routes https://fiction.live/stories/The-Hypno-Games/eSSzPJ6qiqAC746... https://fiction.live/stories/The-Gynarchy/czyGfAtJpRgtzGFmW/routes https://fiction.live/stories/The-Gynarchy/czyGfAtJpRgtzGFmW/...

  Not sure why, but none of these render anything for me. It gives the progress message, then I get a plain square with no content in it. I've tried Firefox with and without uBlock enabled, and Brave with "Shields" up and down. edit: Oh, I'm on Linux btw.

  I don’t know about nomnoml but dot/graphviz works very well for this type of chart. Definitely another idea to try out. PS: thanks for investing so much work into Tsukihime!
