Hello,
Would it be complicated to have plantuml support?
How hard would it be to delegate the rendering of a content to an external process?
Thanks.

Does it outputs svg's? 🙂

#

Okay it does (thanks the FAQ)

#

What I would do : 1
What might be possible in the future: 2

#

I'd use
#read("my_uml_diag.svg") /* uml code goes here */
I'd make a build system grep all line containing read and uml for instance and the comments after and make it build it.

#

Wasm plugin, do I need to say more? 😉
No plantuml is written is java apparently, I don't know if they can build to wasm but I don't see why not

#

yes java can : https://github.com/konsoletyper/teavm

To make the semantics more clear, I would put the plantuml code inside a raw block of language plantuml (out something similar) and disable rendering it via a show rule
