.mmd and .mermaid files not previewing in github.

Body

In my repo we have /documents/mermaid and we have a bunch of .mmd files there. On our local machines we simply open it using IDE plugins or web editor - non-issue.

I would like that within GitHub the 'preview' tab on any of our .mmd files, actually shows the diagram (so our non-technical team can view and edit from source without having to really use git). Viewing a .mmd file within git gives me "Unable to render code block". I have read https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/using-files/working-with-non-code-files#displaying-mermaid-files-on-github but still my .mmd files do not show up.

I understand that in anything markdown supported we can do "```markdown ECT", but that would require us saving as .md files and modifying every one. There must be a way that .mmd files can automatically be previewed but i cant seem to find a simple solution.

I may be missing something obvious, but I have yet to find a solution. Any advice would be greatly apricated.

Thank you.

Github does not support .mmd files, the only way would be to change the format to .md. Markdown

Here is the list of supported formats
