Plugin for creating block-level uml diagrams for markdown-it markdown parser using offline
plantuml.jar
.
Using this plugin and you can create uml diagrams inside your markdown files.
Differ with markdown-it-plantuml, markdown-it-plantuml-ex use offline plantuml.jar
to render your diagrams, that means three things:
- You can safely use it in your secret project or some internal docs of your employer, because markdown-it-plantuml-ex will not upload any of your data to any server, it's totally offline;
- You can enjoy a better render performance;
- You should install Java by yourself before you start rendering, because markdown-it-plantuml-ex relies on it.
The diagrams you can use in your markdown file just like codes below.
```plantuml
@startuml
Bob -> Alice : hello
