What's the best way to preview a Mermaid diagram during code review?▼

The best way to preview a Mermaid diagram is to validate the source file and render it into both ASCII and SVG formats. This allows you to visually confirm the diagram's appearance during technical code reviews.

Do I need Node.js and Puppeteer to render Mermaid diagrams?▼

Yes, you need Node.js, npm, and Puppeteer installed to render Mermaid diagrams. These dependencies are required to execute the rendering scripts and generate the SVG output from your source files.

Can I validate a .mmd file and save the rendered output as an SVG?▼
