As discussed in #1174, this adds a documentation section to UI Components > Code > Mermaid that describes the usage of mermaid with AsciiDoc.
Regarding the comment on asciidoctor-diagram in my edits, I cannot stress enough how much pain this is to set up (this was the first thing I tried before switching to JTD's client-side mermaid support). It basically pre-renders mermaid diagrams in a headless chromium browser. This requires manual configuration of Puppeteer, along with additional config for Jekyll to keep the images the extension creates. And when you managed to get the image on your site, it looks horrible. This is why I wrote „not recommended“.
