mermaid without browser

I want to do it in pure node.js:

var mermaidAPI = require('mermaid').mermaidAPI;
var graphDefinition = 'graph TB\na-->b';
var graph = mermaidAPI.render(graphDefinition);
console.log(graph);

Currently it is not possible: https://github.com/knsv/mermaid/blob/master/src/mermaidAPI.js#L486

if (typeof document === ‘undefined’) { // Todo handle rendering serverside using phantomjs }

It’s not about the issue, but i made a webpack loader that helps to generate PNG files from mermaid diagrams. https://github.com/popul/mermaid-loader

It can help 😃

Hi, can this issue be reopened? Puppeteer too launches a headless chrome instance in the background.
