Thank you for sharing your struggle. It would be interesting to understand more of context of the target audience you mentioned (teachers), and of the context they live in. What are they teaching? How is their relationship with computers? How and why would flow charts be useful for them?

I understand your concern for people learning the logic and giving themselves the time to learn how to build a flowchart with text and so love the LaTeX part :-). I was one of those that was almost obliged to use LaTeX while in university to write our thesis…I eventually got to learn some of it back-then (now forgotten). Yet the time I took to learn it was not evaluated when I mentioned it to the evaluators, as beyond enforcing LaTeX they would only really care about the end result.

Yet i do understand that forcing people to write text/learning new language to get a flowchart on the screen might not be so motivating and that such a tool that makes drawing flowcharts easy and lets referencing flowchart urls and onebox them might actually be something great.  
Maybe this would not need to be something to export links but to export text - like embedding videos… well, not to say a plugin to draw diagrams in-line.  
Wonder how it might be done…

Something like this: [Interactive Diagram for Building Flowcharts | GoJS Diagramming Library](http://gojs.net/latest/samples/flowchart.html), yet embedded on the post editor window.

Any ideas on how to implement it in a lean way?
