Export to Powerpoint/Google Slides

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm not sure how feasible this is, but I figured it was worth putting out there. I would love it if there was a way to export flowcharts produced by Mermaid to Powerpoint or Google Slides.

Right now you can export an image, but ideally you'd be able to actually edit the text and the nodes just as if you had created the chart natively in Powerpoint or Google Slides.

Describe the solution you'd like As expressed above, an ideal solution would be a straightforward function you could invoke that would output a .ppt compatible file that would allow users to open and then edit the flowcharts in software like PowerPoint and Google Slides

Describe alternatives you've considered I've looked at other charting software like gojs, and googled extensively to see if there are any types of convoluted steps you can take to make this happen. I've come up empty.

Additional context Nothing much else to add, except that I understand that this is a pretty major feature request, and I'm not sure of how technically challenging it would be. I do think it would be an amazing addition to Mermaid, and it would additionally help it stand out from the crowd by giving it a pretty awesome piece of functionality that doesn't seem to be present in any of the competitors.

Good idea! Will investigate feasibility

This would be truly amazing! (I don't know how many countless hours I have spent trying to create flow charts in power point, dragging and dropping lines and shapes...)

Would love this as well! Notion and other tools support this, would be great to have this as an add-on in Powerpoint as well.

I am glad to see this approved! I would love to see this implemented. It also might be good to work with MS to get Mermaid rendering within PowerPoint.
