In addition to mermaid diagrams, we now allow users to render maps directly in markdown using fenced code blocks with the geojson or topojson syntax, and embed STL 3D renders using stl syntax.

Additionally, these diagrams are supported as files using their own extensions:

content type supported extensions
mermaid .mermaid, .mmd
geoJSON .geojson, .json
topoJSON .topojson, .json
STL .stl

geoJSON

### Here's a geoJSON map in markdown

```geojson
{
  "type": "Polygon",
  "coordinates": [
      [
          [-90,30],
          [-90,35],
          [-90,35],
          [-85,35],
          [-85,30]
      ]
  ]
}
```

```topojson
 {"type":"Topology","transform":{"scale":[0.003589294092944858,0.0005371535195261037],"translate":[-179.1473400003406,17.67439566600018]},"objects":{"counties":   {"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"MultiPolygon","arcs":[[[0,1,2,3]]],"id":53073},{"type":"Polygon","arcs":[[4,5,6,7,8,9]],"id":30105},{"type":"Polygon","arcs": [[10,11,12,1

STL

### Here's an STL 3D render in markdown

```stl
solid cube_corner
  facet normal 0.0 -1.0 0.0
    outer loop
      vertex 0.0 0.0 0.0
      vertex 1.0 0.0 0.0
      vertex 0.0 0.0 1.0
    endloop
