Hi all. What's going on under the hood to render the {{diagram}}{{/diagram}} template markup in the wiki? How would one approach porting this to Pandoc Markdown so it renders on GitHub?

Since Markdown doesn't support colors, your best bet is either to make an image or to use a Markdown fenced code block:

Code: [Select]

```
some diagram stuff
```

The {{diagram}} template generates a table, with one cell for each character. The <diagram> tag produces a similar table, but is implemented by an extension instead, so it can support a few more features. (Well, the template could, in theory, but it would be a lot harder to maintain.)

There is a wiki subforum that could work for these types of questions too, by the way. I typically look at that more often than this subforum.

BenLubar's suggestions are probably your best bet, unless that's a special Markdown dialect that does support colors.
