Smart way to convert mermaid markdown files to images?

[plbremer]

I have a mermaid diagram that is unusably tiny

My wanderings have lead me to this posting ( #5208 ) which suggests either

• writing my own plugin
• using a plugin that adds zoom to images

i have zero hope of doing the first in any tractable amount of time, so i was curious if people had success/strategies for transforming their mermaid diagrams to images. I tried playing with ( https://github.com/hmajid2301/markdown-mermaid-to-images ) locally, but i got some weird errors and it looks like the package is not maintained, so I am not hopeful.

Any ideas?

Have you tried mermaid-cli? I don't use it but since it is part of Mermaid itself...

thanks for the suggestion @alexvoss
For those concerned, i was able to install the javascript cli and successfully generated an image.
I was going to figure out how to manage javascript packages at the the same time (naive in that department), but it turns out that I actually want to not user mermaid at all, for reasons that are beyond the scope of this thread.
