## Description

Merpress lets you create diagrams and visualizations using [MermaidJS](https://mermaid.js.org/intro/).

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Open the block by typing “/MermaidJS” (or use the sidebar and search)
 * [[
 * Until there is a valid Mermaid diagram, there will be a syntax error in the graph.
 * [[
 * When editing the block, there are 2 views. Use the upper area for writing, and
   the lower for displaying the diagram.
 * [[
 * When the block is not selected, it will be displayed as it should be seen on 
   the site.

 * As seen on my test site.

Spent a day trying to get mermaid to render. For some reason, it did not create 
a merpress block when I first created it. However, I retried a few hours letter 
and it worked and worked like magic. Thank you for working on this.
