This PR does two things: 1. fixes using mermaid version `>= 10` from the CDN, by importing the ESM module instead 2. moves script loading code from `head.html` to the mermaid include I've also added some light documentation to clarify how using mermaid with local paths should work (users should specify a version, and they should only use fully-minified bundles with no local references). The nice thing about this approach is that it's a breaking change for nobody, and only adds functionality (v10 support). Eventually, we should remove support for mermaid <10, which should make this much easier! Closes #1206. ## Context In v10, Mermaid has implemented a few (admittedly, very frustrating to deal with) breaking changes: 1. they've removed CJS support, which is fine, *but* 2. that means that the `dist` they publish to JSDelivr now has a **different URL**: for versions `10.0.0` - `10.0.2`, **they do not have a minified bundle -- you have to load the ESM version with relative imports** 3. and, separately the `init` function has been deprecated 2 is really the issue, and so I've had to go into the code to now load mermaid by ESM by default when the user is on mermaid > v10. I've tested this with: - CDN version < 10 (v9) - CDN version 10 - local path with version < 10 (v9) - local path with version 10 (new: also loaded as an ESM module) Separately, I chose to put all the mermaid stuff in one include because: - I think @pdmosses requested something like this - it's a bit confusing that some mermaid code is *not* in the include, and this makes modular components ... more modular - from a developer perspective, it's more clear what's happening with mermaid - mermaid is not render-blocking, so it shouldn't be in the `head` anyways --------- Co-authored-by: Peter Mosses <18308236+pdmosses@users.noreply.github.com>

A video walkthrough of various Just the Docs features
Installation
Use the template
The Just the Docs Template provides the simplest, quickest, and easiest way to create a new website that uses the Just the Docs theme. To get started with creating a site, just click "use the template"!
Note: To use the theme, you do not need to clone or fork the Just the Docs repo! You should do that only if you intend to browse the theme docs locally, contribute to the development of the theme, or develop a new theme based on Just the Docs.
You can easily set the site created by the template to be published on GitHub Pages – the template README file explains how to do that, along with other details.
If Jekyll is installed on your computer, you can also build and preview the created site locally. This lets you test changes before committing them, and avoids waiting for GitHub Pages.1 And you will be able to deploy your local build to a different platform than GitHub Pages.
More specifically, the created site:
- uses a gem-based approach, i.e. uses a
Gemfileand loads thejust-the-docsgem - uses the GitHub Pages / Actions workflow to build and publish the site on GitHub Pages
Other than that, you're free to customize sites that you create with the template, however you like. You can easily change the versions of just-the-docs and Jekyll it uses, as well as adding further plugins.
Use RubyGems
Alternatively, you can install the theme as a Ruby Gem, without creating a new site.
Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:
gem "just-the-docs"
And add this line to your Jekyll site's _config.yml:
theme: just-the-docs
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install just-the-docs
Alternatively, you can run it inside Docker while developing your site
$ docker-compose up

Development
To set up your environment to develop this theme: fork this repo, the run bundle install from the root directory.
A modern devcontainer configuration for VSCode is included.
Your theme is set up just like a normal Jekyll site! To test your theme, run bundle exec jekyll serve and open your browser at http://localhost:4000. This starts a Jekyll server using your theme. Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents. As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, just like normal.
When this theme is released, only the files in _layouts, _includes, and _sass tracked with Git will be included in the gem.
