What happened?

The flowchart diagram in the "Discovery of Prometheus Custom Resources" section of the Target Allocator's README is showing an error for the labels that should be under the edges between nodes.

See image below for how it is currently rendered on Github.

The problematic text is on

opentelemetry-operator/cmd/otel-allocator/README.md

Lines 77 to 79 in a36367b

	sm ~~~|"1. Discover Prometheus Operator CRs"| sm
	ta ~~~|"2. Add job to TA scrape configuration"| ta
	oc3 ~~~|"3. Add job to OTel Collector scrape configuration"| oc3

This seems to render fine in the Markdown Preview window of my IDE (Jetbrains). I've attached an image of what it looks like locally in my IDE below.

Removing the numbers seems to get it to render without the error, but even then, the edge labels aren't directly beneath the edges it's meant to label.

The edge type is an invisible link with text.

If we make the link visible, we can see why it is off to the side.

  ta ---|"Add job to TA scrape configuration"| ta
  oc3 ---|"Add job to OTel Collector scrape configuration"| oc3

See diagram below for visible link.
