Visualize markdown with mindmaps in Discourse

Hello dears,

Is there any plugin or intention to have something like this in Discourse?

No plugin or theme that I am aware of. I do not expect us to add something like this to core, but if the community wish to build a plugin or theme, sure!

Very handy utility. Including link to REPL to try it out, and a mindmap that conveys the idea:

A mindmap that provides an overview of Markmap

We support mindmaps now in the mermaid theme component!

markmap could be implemented, similarly as a theme component I guess.

Oh, lovely :heart_eyes: thank you Sam!

(Btw, the mail notification of your post does not contain the mind map, but shows its textual definition instead)

Out of curiosity, I tried to make it work with Markmap because it’s another interesting mindmap. It needs some detailed attention, but it can work. Hopefully, I can share something based on it. :smile:
