Trying to make a presentation right now. In order to render mermaid charts I need to install 'mmdc', or mermaid-cli perhaps -- but this is npm territory and I dont really want to get into the whole node ecosystem, it would be opening a can of worms for sure.

Is this the only support for rendering mermaid in presenterm?

Yes, unfortunately mermaid requires not only node but also a browser instance (!!). I don't like it at all but I don't think there's any alternatives. If you or anyone knows a way of avoiding installing a javascript package to do this please create an issue in the repo!
