@fhunleth please give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
FTR initially I tried a slightly simpler solution, which was to first replace all
<pre>
tags with<div class="mermaid">
and then run the automatic rendering:Then I tried a more manual approach, which I included in this PR. The primary difference is when the graph definition is invalid. When rendering manually we keep the definition in a
<pre>
tag so it can be read and there is an error in the console. On the other hand, when using the auto rendering the element gets replaced with a huge "failed to render" image and there's nothing useful in the console.
