Mermaid

Mermaid is great! Unfortunately the live editor only exports to SVG. Confluence sucks! It doesn't support SVG. Let's use "mermaid.cli" to create PNGs. We can still use the live editor to create views and embed them into confluence via iframe, if we want hyperlinks. The live editor can still be used for easy editing.

Copy to my own repo

• git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/msde/mermaid-png;cp mermaid-png/.gitignore .;cp mermaid-png/* .;rm -rf mermaid-png

Installing
