is rumored to have said:
I an a fairly new user so I apologize if the answers to this question
are obvious, but I searched this mailing list and the issue tracker
and could find only one somewhat related thread that didn’t help me.
**TL;DR** I need help getting Mermaid syntax and finding out how some
of the bundles should be used. BTW I seem to be using a pre-release
somehow, Build 5937, so maybe that is an issue?
### Mermaid integration
The TeXMath bundle works really well:
~~~math
\int x\, \text{d}x = \frac{1}{2} x^2 + C
~~~
But when I try Mermaid like this,
```
~~~mermaid
graph LR
A —> B
B —> C
~~~
```
I get an orange message above the header that says
```
Bundle command failed (event: generate_diagram)
Explanation Unable to reach output
format type (discard !=html)
```
From what I understand of Mermaid, it uses JavaScript. MailMate (like
almost every MUA) wisely has no support for running JavaScript in email
and never should. You probably just need to create the diagram manually
and embed the graphic.
I have mermaid-cli installed on my Mac, and I can generate Mermaid
graphics from the command line using exactly that same syntax, so
I’m not sure what is going wrong.
There's no bundle for it. I would not expect such a bundle to be
possible, but maybe I'm missing something.
(I have never used Fantastical, so I don't have any answer to your
question about that.)
