PANDOC-PLANTUML(1)

✨ NAME ✨

pandoc-plantuml — a Pandoc filter that converts PlantUML code blocks into PlantUML images 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pandoc --filter pandoc-plantuml [...]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so bestie, listen: pandoc-plantuml is a filter for pandoc, and that's the whole vibe. It is not meant to be run as a standalone command, like, do not just yeet it into your terminal and expect a glow-up. It rides shotgun with pandoc, periodt.

This manual page documents briefly the pandoc-plantuml command. Short and sweet, we know, but it's giving everything you need. 🫶

---

🌸 EXAMPLES 🌸

In your document — and for this example we're doing Markdown, slay — you drop your plantuml diagrams in like this:

Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response

Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response

This will create an output file with a plantuml-generated image linked in the file. 📎 The image will be put under the relative dir plantuml-images. no cap, that's just where it lives. 🎀
