Comment forms allow some HTML, this plugin extends that to let users type in <a href="http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown</a> and have it automatically converted to HTML. It also extends Markdown with a couple features made popular <a href="https://github.com/github/github-flavored-markdown" rel="nofollow ugc">by GitHub</a>. Conversion from Markdown to HTML is completely automated and doesn’t require anything on the commenter’s part.
The feature additions from GitHub are:
<ul>
<li>Single linebreaks are treated as new paragraphs</li>
<li>Code “fencing” with three backticks (“`)</li>
</ul>
Two notable features from GitHub’s Markdown implementation are missing:
<ul>
<li>To do lists: Doing these well would require some front end interaction, which I decided is outside the scope of this plugin at least for now</li>
<li>Repository autolinking (e.g. comments, issues, etc): These seemed a little too GitHub-specific.</li>
</ul>
GitHub-Flavored Markdown Comments is developed, unsurprisingly, <a href="https://github.com/evansolomon/wp-github-flavored-markdown-comments" rel="nofollow ugc">on GitHub</a>.

WP Mermaid is smart enough that loads mermaid.js only when your posts contain Mermaid syntax, by detecting the use of shortcode and block. So it will not be loaded on your website everywhere.

If you are looking for a <a href="https://github.com/terrylinooo/githuber-md" rel="nofollow ugc">Markdown editor</a> supporting Mermaid, you can also check out my WordPress plugin called the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-githuber-md/" rel="ugc">WP Githuber MD</a>, which provides a variety of features not just Mermaid, it is worth to try.
