I am excited to share that Lucid has released the ability to create a diagram using mermaid code syntax! We support 8 different diagram types including: flowchart, sequence, class, state, C4, gantt, and entity relationship diagrams. Try it out for yourself or learn more here

You will still be able to create UML diagrams leveraging our UML markup features.

Agreed - being able to author diagrams in Lucidchart then import them into Azure DevOps wikis would be very useful.

Hey Phil W

Sorry for delay in responding.  Hopefully you found out already that Azure DevOps Wikis natively support Mermaid Diagrams.

Enter as following: 

::: mermaid
sequenceDiagram
    Alice->>John: Hello John how are you?
    John-->>Alice: Great!
:::

Then it will render the diagram for you.

Unfortunately there is a limited set of diagrams that it supports.

Is there a place where we can track a feature request? Or can someone give us a status update?

It's more than one year ago and I'd also like to see support for Mermaid in Lucid so at least I can design my charts in one place export them etc.

Hi Erik

Thank you for keeping this thread going and I want to ensure you that we DO hear you however this integration is not yet built. We receive lots of fantastic ideas (including this one 😎) that our Dev Team has to prioritize and construct. Rest assured once this functionality is in place we will definitely reach out and deliver the good news!

Again thank you for voicing how Lucid can best assist with your workflow and giving us the opportunity to make things even easier--firm handshakes 🤝

One can import a mermaid diagram into Draw.io. Then one can import the draw.io diagram into Lucid. But my basic flow chart in draw.io only created a blank page after import in Lucid.

So we have a undeveloped new feature and an existing broken feature. I reported the bug in the app with a link to my draw.io file.

:-(

Support for importing and exporting Mermaid code would be great a number of tools I use already support it. See a list of tools that support it here: https://mermaid.js.org/ecosystem/integrations.html

For sake of an example I use Obsidian heavily and it would be great to be able to draft my diagrams as Mermaid code in Obsidian and then paste the code into Lucidchart to share it or be able to copy Mermaid code for a diagram from Lucidchart and paste it into my notes in Obsidian.
