The Markdown Mermaid Diagram team added a new requested feature for a Gantt diagram - the [displayMode: compact option](https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/gantt.html).

Yet, using it on Joplin with the recommended syntax leads to an error:

```plaintext
---
displayMode: compact
---
gantt
    title A Gantt Diagram
    dateFormat YYYY-MM-DD

    section Section
    A task :a1, 2014-01-01, 30d
    Another task :a2, 2014-01-20, 25d
    Another one :a3, 2014-02-10, 20d

```

Can you update the Mermaid version in Joplin, so this feature will work?

Thank you for your job. Have a nice day!

I would also really like to use displayMode.
