## What it is
Markvis is a markdown-it plugin that renders data visualizations (charts) directly inside markdown documents using D3. It works in both browser and Node.js environments, generating charts as DOM elements instead of exported images.

## Use cases
- embed charts in markdown articles
- render data visualizations from markdown
- add bar, line, or pie charts to markdown docs
- avoid exporting charts as images for blog posts
- generate visualizations server-side in node
- write data-driven articles in markdown

## When to choose
- you write data-heavy articles in markdown and want inline charts
- you already use markdown-it and want a visualization plugin
- you want charts as lightweight DOM elements rather than images

## When to avoid
- you need interactive dashboards rather than static markdown charts
- you don't use markdown-it as your markdown processor
- you need a actively developed solution with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, markdown, templating
- domain: data-visualization, web-development, documentation
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: markdown-it-plugin, d3, charts, javascript, nodejs
