Support for markdown => 3.6

[jonesbusy]

Hi,

Can we update constraint on

https://github.com/backstage/mkdocs-techdocs-core/blob/main/requirements.txt#L5

- Markdown>=3.2,<3.4
+ Markdown>=3.2,<3.8

Started to see

[05:25:27.580+02:00] - The conflict is caused by:
[05:25:27.580+02:00] -     mkdocstrings 0.26.0 depends on Markdown>=3.6
[05:25:27.580+02:00] -     mkdocs-techdocs-core 1.4.1 depends on Markdown<3.4 and >=3.2

When other mkdocs plugin required markdown >=3.6

Possible fixed by renovate PR : https://github.com/backstage/mkdocs-techdocs-core/pull/210/files

But not sure why it's not building

I would also like this upgrade, this conflict with mkdocstring blocks a functionality that I care about.

In addition, I am wondering if this constraint is necessary, since mkdocs itself has this dependency in a newer version:
"Markdown >=3.3.6",

https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/blob/bb7e8b62185b11d9f59bb7f50b13c15134f62f8a/pyproject.toml#L39

Would this get us there? #210

If yes some help getting the CI green would be great!

This is highlightedby an integration test that fail at runtime https://github.com/cesaremorel/markdown-inline-graphviz that is outdated

This was fixed on cesaremorel/markdown-inline-graphviz@1c887a7

But for some reason not released yet. Hope the maintainer will answer

Some folks have open an issue last week: cesaremorel/markdown-inline-graphviz#13

So until then we cannot do anything I guess (unless we drop graphviz support on mermaid ?)

Not stale. Also missing release

Release failed

Apparently not possible to publish due to the git dependency

If https://github.com/cesaremorel/markdown-inline-graphviz is abandonned and we don't get any answer from a maintainer we should consider either dropping the dependency (and accept breaking changes) or created a fork.

Right now this is not a long term solution for the mkdocs-techdocs-core CLI

We ended up forking https://github.com/cesaremorel/markdown-inline-graphviz to https://github.com/backstage/markdown-inline-graphviz under a new pypi project.

Hopefully this helps unblock us.

Thanks. I think it's a much better solution
