Allow alternate arrow syntax that doesn't close html comments

[JimD2L]

I would like to include the mermaid syntax that generated a diagram inside a markdown file that references a rendered image of it. The traditional way to put a comment in a markdown file is to place it within an <!-- html comment -->. This doesn't work because mermaid link syntax closes the comment.

For now I am using the thicker links via ==>, but this is not an idea solution. An alternate link syntax would solve this issue. For example, __> or >>>.

I don't think there are any ideal solutions. Either it has conflicts with HTML or it's hard to read.

I do have the plan to rework the syntax(in a breaking change manner.) But let's close this issue for now.

Hello, I have the same problem, where I wanted to comment out a graph but it's just impossible. Had to switch to ==> as well. I think the easiest solution would be to add a synonym to --> with another character at the tip --^ or something that does not conflict with the existing options listed above this header:
