Problem: SVG diagrams had missing text in PDFs due to Inkscape conversion
issues with foreignObject elements used by Mermaid for HTML text rendering.
Solution: Implement format-specific optimal generation:
- HTML: SVG files for perfect vector scaling and text rendering
- PDF: High-resolution PNG files (3x scale) for sharp images with readable text
Changes:
- Generate SVG for HTML output using standard mmdc command
- Generate PNG for PDF output using mmdc with --scale 3 for high resolution
- Remove SVG LaTeX package dependency and Inkscape requirement
- Update documentation to reflect the dual-format approach
Results:
- HTML: Crisp, scalable vector diagrams with perfect text
- PDF: Sharp, high-resolution raster diagrams with clear text
- No external dependencies beyond mermaid-cli
