## Message

````
markdown: Support triple-tilde Mermaid fences (#62257)

# Objective

Zed's Markdown parser accepts tilde-fenced code blocks, but Mermaid
extraction only strips backtick fences. As a result, a block like this
is parsed as Mermaid while the fence itself is still passed to the
renderer:

```markdown
~~~mermaid
graph TD;
~~~
```

## Solution

Teach the Markdown code-block helpers to recognize triple-tilde fences
alongside triple-backtick fences.

The change stays in the existing parsing path, so Mermaid rendering does
not need a separate special case. A regression test covers extraction
from a tilde-fenced Mermaid block.

## Testing

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`
- `cargo test -p markdown` (138 tests)
- `./script/clippy -p markdown`
- `cargo build -p zed`
- Opened a `~~~mermaid` block in the built Zed Dev app on macOS and
verified that Markdown Preview renders the diagram

fences.
