Description

Currently you need to insert a code block and switch to mermaid syntax. This could be more obvious e.g. in the block menu next to LaTeX formulas

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the code block insertion menu in the editor's UI code and add a dedicated mermaid diagram option, similar to the LaTeX formula entry.
