About other markdown-it plugins

For markdown-it, there are also other syntax extensions where some are listed at that markdown-it page, and others at npmjs.com.

For example, how to get some mermaid plugin working so that some syntax works for https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/ ?

How you could add another plugin

sudo apt -y install git
git config --global user.name "Yourfirstname Yourlastname"
