[Recurrent] Update / Upgrade component ABC (electron, mermaid, lucide, mathjax, codemirror, vim, etc) to the latest version x.y.z

Is there a workaround for manually upgrading the mermaid.js of my Obisidian installation? I got really frustrated for not being able to use the new type of diagrams.

Also looking forward to the new Mermaid.js version and its features. Almost all my notes have at least one Mermaid block in them.
I just switched over from Joplin to see what Obsidian can do for me and somehow the Mermaid rendering looked off to me. Side by side it was clear to me: Text is not centered vertically, but always a few pixels off-center which looks very weird to me. Here is an example with Joplin on top and Obsidian on the bottom:

I have seen that some people try to change the styling with CSS, but this seems to cause problems with various Exports, so I’d rather stick to the default rendering… but it would be nice to have it a bit clearer and well… centered :wink:

Otherwise I like Obsidian so far!

Use case or problem

I often use multiline display equations like this:

Current workaround (optional)

I have to use the align environment or two separate display equations.

Proposed solution

Incorporate the latest release of MathJax, which involves line-breaking support (for in-line and displayed equations), and a host of new features - which would be great.

This is just one of my use cases and it isn’t really that critical, but it would be great enhancement for me.

+1 for this, especially if there’s some interface to change the MathJax font (since there are many more supported fonts in 4.0)
