Add flowcharts and diagrams to Dokuwiki with an intuitive syntax
The diagrams and flowcharts are generated with https://mermaidjs.github.io/.
With the current version of the plugin it is crucial to remove the following lines from the Dokuwiki file conf/entities.conf
<-> ↔
-> →
<- ←
--- —
-- –
Otherwise, Dokuwiki will render -> to → and then the diagrams are not rendered correctly since, e.g. → is the wrong syntax and we need -> etc. (For more information, see https://www.dokuwiki.org/entities and also https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/blob/master/conf/entities.conf.)
<flow>
graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
</flow>
will be rendered to
A nice feature is that each element of a diagram can be made clickable by using
<flow>
graph TD;
A-->B;
A-->C;
B-->D;
C-->D;
click A "SOMEPAGE"
</flow>
Clicking on A will take you to http://yoururl.com/SOMEPAGE.
For further details on the syntax, see https://mermaidjs.github.io/. Diagrams can be built in realtime using https://mermaidjs.github.io/mermaid-live-editor/.
If you install this plugin manually, make sure it is installed in lib/plugins/mermaidflowcharts/ - if the folder is called different it will not work!
Please refer to http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugins for additional info on how to install plugins in DokuWiki.
