Description

In one of our contributor docs, we have a diagram rendered with Mermaid since GitHub is able to render those in its readmes. A writer currently working on the documentation for functions like applyMatrix also was wondering if we could use something like GitHub readme inline math in documentation.

We don't necessarily need to implement any of these right away, but do you have a sense of what it would take to integrate them in the future?

Determine what would be required to support these formats in the contributor documentation, and document the integration options and remaining questions.
