I created a couple of sequence diagrams using mermaid, next to regular box diagrams.
When exporting the mermaid diagrams to SVG, I found that the SVG is actually just a container for a base64-encoded PNG image, lacking all of the SVG benefits.
Are there any plans to support a real vector-based SVG renderer for mermaid diagrams?

Or does this already exist in a hidden place? I’d like to avoid using a dedicated external tool to get SVGs out of my mermaid diagrams.

Hi ​@soergel 

Lucidchart's Mermaid integration is well-suited for fast modeling and sharing technical diagrams, but full vector editing and integration with Lucid's standard objects is not currently supported.

Which means - This functionality is not available by default

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

Hello!
Any plans to consider vector-based SVG for mermaid on Lucid ?
