To add Mermaid diagrams and flowcharts to your Markdown documents in Visual Studio Code, follow these steps:
1. Install a Markdown previewer extension with Mermaid support, such as "Markdown Preview Mermaid" [1]. You can find it in the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
2. Once installed, open your Markdown document in Visual Studio Code.
3. Create Mermaid diagrams and flowcharts in your Markdown document using Mermaid syntax. You can find documentation on Mermaid syntax at [2].
4. Preview your Markdown document by clicking on the Markdown preview button in the top-right corner of Visual Studio Code.
5. Your Mermaid diagrams and flowcharts will be rendered in the preview, allowing you to see them visually.
This extension makes it easy to create and view Mermaid diagrams within your Markdown documents in Visual Studio Code, enhancing your documentation and communication capabilities [1].
