Description

Enter your suggestions in details:

When exploring doc-kit docs within https://github.com/nodejs/doc-kit/pull/889, I was going to render the parsing pipeline as a simple mermaid diagram instead of the codeblock ascii.
I think it would be a reasonable expectation for a generic tool like this, in 2026, to support mermaid diagram rendering.

Research direction

Start by reading the doc-kit documentation context and pull request #889, where the parsing pipeline diagram is discussed. Identify how documentation code blocks are currently rendered and determine the supported Mermaid input and rendering path. Done means Mermaid diagrams render correctly in the relevant docs without breaking existing code-block output.
