Thomas LavergneToday I finally gave Mermaid.js a try, with it's online diagram editor and the direct inclusion in MarkDown.
What a life-changer for my #JupyterBook documentation !
cλémentd@lavergnetho It's awesome, but I wish it had better support for browser-less generation.
@clementd You mean offline generation? Or from a LibreOffice doc, maybe?
So far I used it in the browser (exported the image) or in JupyterBook (rendered by the browser).
@lavergnetho I mean ahead of time generation (eg when building a website). mermaid-cli pulls a browser to generate images
@lavergnetho So it makes it heavy in a CI/CD pipeline for instance
@clementd I see. Thanks for sharing this use case.
@lavergnetho For me it was a game changer in gitlab (and now GitHub) issues: the ability to easily use sequence diagrams when designing software as a team is♥️
@clementd oh that's neat indeed!
What seems to be missing ATM is the possibility to give graph names and reuse these names in other graphs (as subgraphs). That would allow graphs to be reusable across different project, without copy-paste. But most probably not easy as it sounds.
