Improvement
Mermaid, topoJSON, geoJSON, and ASCII STL Diagrams Are Now Supported in Markdown and as Files
In addition to mermaid diagrams, we now allow users to render maps directly in markdown using fenced code blocks with the geojson or topojson syntax, and embed STL 3D renders using stl syntax.
Additionally, these diagrams are supported as files using their own extensions:
| content type | supported extensions |
|---|---|
| mermaid | .mermaid, .mmd |
| geoJSON | .geojson, .json |
| topoJSON | .topojson, .json |
| STL | .stl |

geoJSON
### Here's a geoJSON map in markdown
```geojson
{
"type": "Polygon",
"coordinates": [
[
[-90,30],
[-90,35],
[-90,35],
[-85,35],
[-85,30]
]
]
}
```

topoJSON
### Here's a topoJSON map in markdown
```topojson
{"type":"Topology","transform":{"scale":[0.003589294092944858,0.0005371535195261037],"translate":[-179.1473400003406,17.67439566600018]},"objects":{"counties": {"type":"GeometryCollection","geometries":[{"type":"MultiPolygon","arcs":[[[0,1,2,3]]],"id":53073},{"type":"Polygon","arcs":[[4,5,6,7,8,9]],"id":30105},{"type":"Polygon","arcs": [[10,11,12,1
...
```

STL
### Here's an STL 3D render in markdown
```stl
solid cube_corner
facet normal 0.0 -1.0 0.0
outer loop
vertex 0.0 0.0 0.0
vertex 1.0 0.0 0.0
vertex 0.0 0.0 1.0
endloop
endfacet
...
```
