Currently I generate graph diagrams for papers and blog articles in emacs with graphviz, I wonder how mermaid.js compares in that workflow.

The default styles in mermaid look a little nicer than graphviz, which might be enough to motivate me to try it out. When/if I do, I'll probably try with this emacs package: https://github.com/abrochard/mermaid-mode.

Have you tried converting the dot file to svg and manipulating the svg file in the build process to improve its appearance? I'm not sure if it's worth the effort but perhaps it's a viable alternative.

Hah, I haven't tried that, but I bet it's possible to do it all within org-mode...
