When converting a markdown file to a pdf file, the mermaid diagram is not rendered. This is because the default pandoc markdown engine does not support mermaid diagrams. The solution is to use a markdown engine that supports mermaid diagrams.

Install mermaid-filter

To render mermaid diagrams, use the mermaid-filter filter. To install the mermaid-filter filter, run the following command:

npm i -g mermaid-filter

Assuming you have installed Node.js and npm.

Also, install texlive to render the pdf file:

brew install texlive

Usage

pandoc SAMPLE.md -o SAMPLE.pdf --pdf-engine=xelatex -F mermaid-filter
