+Mermaid Integration
+===================
+
+Mermaid is a tool that lets you generate flow charts, sequence diagrams, gantt
+charts, class diagrams and vcs graphs from a simple markup language. This
+allows charts and diagrams to be embedded and edited directly in the
+documentation source files rather than creating them as images using some
+external tool and checking the images into the tree.
+
+To add a diagram, simply put something like this into your page:
+
+.. These two examples come from the upstream website (https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/)
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ .. mermaid::
+
+ graph TD;
+ A-->B;
+ A-->C;
+ B-->D;
+ C-->D;
+
+The result will be:
+
+.. mermaid::
+
+ graph TD;
+ A-->B;
+ A-->C;
+ B-->D;
+ C-->D;
+
+Or
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ .. mermaid::
+
+ sequenceDiagram
+ participant Alice
+ participant Bob
+ Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
+ loop Healthcheck
+ John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
+ end
+ Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br/>prevail!
+ John-->>Alice: Great!
+ John->>Bob: How about you?
+ Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
+
+will show:
+
+.. mermaid::
+
+ sequenceDiagram
+ participant Alice
+ participant Bob
+ Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
+ loop Healthcheck
+ John->>John: Fight against hypochondria
+ end
+ Note right of John: Rational thoughts <br/>prevail!
+ John-->>Alice: Great!
+ John->>Bob: How about you?
+ Bob-->>John: Jolly good!
+
+
+See `Mermaid's official <https://mermaid-js.github.io/mermaid/#/>`__ docs for
+more details on the syntax, and use the
+`Mermaid Live Editor <https://mermaidjs.github.io/mermaid-live-editor/>`__ to
+experiment with creating your own diagrams.
