Hi there!
Thank you for the great theme! I am a happy user and was delighted to see that mermaid support has landed.
In some cases the usage of jsDelivr might not be possible for technical or compliance reasons.
This commit adds a second way to include the mermaid lib by specifying a path in the mermaid config. This way a local version of the lib can be used.
It should be fully backwards compatible, not requiring any action by users that already include the lib from the CDN.
I already added some documentation, but I am also happy to extend this, if this change is generally well-received.
Cheers,
Christian
In #1058, I noted:

This came up again in https://github.com/just-the-docs/just-the-docs/discussions/1136#discussioncomment-4716253, so I think it's best for us to resolve this sooner rather than later.
This PR is me doing that. I:
- have added a headings-level "New" label to every new heading introduced since `v0.3`
- added, when possible, inline YAML comments when new configuration options have been introduced
I did this by scanning through the CHANGELOG and selecting each feature that is either tagged with `Add` and has documentation.
I may have also missed any new features, so some double-checking would be helpful!
This PR has a bit of scope creep! This PR now:
- changes the mermaid opt-in logic to only check for the existence of a `mermaid` key instead of `mermaid != false`: this resolves the follow-up in #857
- changes the behaviour of mermaid configuration
- instead of using `mermaid_init.html` with default settings, makes the include `mermaid_config.js`
- the include is loaded directly into the contents of `mermaid_initialize`
- by default, it is an empty object (i.e. `{}`), triggering the defaults
- updates docs
- adds an example to the markdown kitchen sink
It does significantly change the interface provided in #857, and I apologize for the confusion. However, given the discussion in this PR, I think it's the best move forward!
