Description

Github supports rendering Mermaid (an alternative to plantuml) in its markdown (no idea on asciidoc). So does microsofts azure thing. It would be nice to have support for emitting markdown with this.

Feels like a nice to have built in.

Compare the generated markdown with GitHub's Mermaid rendering behavior and define completion as supported Mermaid diagrams being emitted correctly, with the relevant generation behavior covered by tests.
