I’m in the terminal, reading some documentation, and I come across a Mermaid diagram. I want to quickly understand the flow, but instead I’m staring at a bunch of arrows, brackets, and text. The table below it stretches beyond the edge of the screen, and the image is just a filename.
This happens quite a bit. I spend a lot of time in the terminal, and most of my Markdown files aren’t just text anymore. They have diagrams, tables, images, and other things that don’t translate particularly well to cat or less.
