Description

I've been tweaking a mermaid diagram in this notebook today:

https://definitely-staging.iodide.io/notebooks/60/

It's a bit annoying to have to constantly re-evaluate the cell as I make changes, is there any way we could allow language plugins to do the same thing as markdown cells -- that is, re-evaluate the content on every change?

@bcolloran @mdboom ?

Research direction
Examine how markdown cells are currently auto evaluated, then implement a similar mechanism for language plugins.
