For computing `vertices` and `edge`s lets consider the below svg generated by mermaid

Parsing is broken into two steps
1. [`Rendering Mermaid to Svg`](/docs/@excalidraw/mermaid-to-excalidraw/codebase/parser#rendering-mermaid-to-svg) - This helps in determining the position and dimensions of each element in the diagram
2. [`Parsing the mermaid syntax`](/docs/@excalidraw/mermaid-to-excalidraw/codebase/parser#parsing-the-mermaid-syntax) - We also need to know how elements are connected which isn't possible with svg alone hence we also parse the mermaid syntax which helps in determining the connections and bindings between elements in the diagram.
