		crabmusket on March 4, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Interesting ideas in Observable Framework Yes, it has the same issue as e.g. automatically rendering Mermaid diagrams on GitHub: now you can't just show a block of Mermaid code, without dropping the language annotation.

There's a trick you can use there (which works with GFM and with Framework too): wrap a block in four backticks like this:

    Here is a mermaid example:
    ````
    ```mermaid
    Code here
    ```
    ````
    Copy that into a Markdown file to try it

You can write ```mermaid run=false for that.
