Dear all, Considering that we plan to release ECharts 6.0 at the end of March and there are still some functions under development, the ECharts From Mermaid Project is very likely not to be supported in version 6.0. We expect to support it in the subsequent versions (such as 6.1.0). If you are interested in this project or have any suggestions, you are welcome to continue the discussion. Best regards!
