There are a few atom plugins that support this.

I'm using Markdown Preview Enhanced now: https://atom.io/packages/markdown-preview-enhanced

with which you can embed mermaid sketches into normal markdown documents. This is perfect for most use cases where you want a simple diagram inside a text document.

Also atom-mermaid: https://atom.io/packages/atom-mermaid which is for authoring mermaid documents.



I use mermaid and flowchart in github readmes using an extension for chrome. The basic idea is that the libraries are part of the extension, and the markdown calls out what kind of diagram it is.

chrome store: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-diagrammer/...
