`kramdown-plantuml` allows you to use [PlantUML][plantuml] syntax within [fenced

code blocks][fenced] in [Kramdown][kramdown] ([Jekyll][jekyll]'s default

Markdown parser):



````md

```plantuml

@startuml Diagram

actor client

node app

database db

db -> app

app -> client

@enduml

```

````



Using the `plantuml` language identifier in fenced code blocks will allow

`kramdown-plantuml` to pick it up and replace it with a rendered [SVG][svg]

diagram when the Markdown is rendered to HTML. The above diagram will be

replaced with the following (abbreviated) HTML code:



```html



  

    

  



```



Which in place will be rendered as the following:



![Rendered SVG Diagram][diagram-svg]



If you configure theming (described below), the generated HTML will contain the

name of the configured theme:



```html



  

    

  



```



## Installation



Add this line to your application's Gemfile:



```ruby

gem 'kramdown-plantuml'

```



And then execute:



```sh

bundle install

```



Or install it yourself as:



```sh

gem install kramdown-plantuml

```



And then add the following to your Jekyll site's `_config.yml` file:



```yaml

plugins:

  - "kramdown-plantuml"

```



Then, `bundle exec jekyll build` or `bundle exec jekyll serve` will execute

`kramdown-plantuml`, converting code fenced PlantUML diagrams to beautiful

SVG.



## Requirements



`kramdown-plantuml` is dependent on the Java application [PlantUML], which in

turn is dependent on [Graphviz]. This means that both Java and Graphviz need to

be installed for `kramdown-plantuml` to work.



## Configuration



`kramdown-plantuml` can be configured either directly in the `options` Hash

provided through Kramdown or by `_config.yml` provided through Jekyll.



### Theming



In order to [theme] all PlantUML diagrams fed through `kramdown-plantuml`, you

can configure a global theme with the `plantuml.theme.name` and

`plantuml.theme.directory` properties. Only `name` is required and will allow

any of the built-in themes to be used.



The theme is simply inserted into each PlantUML diagram with the `!theme`

declaration, so this can be centralized in configuration instead of duplicating

it across all diagrams.



Here's an example of how to configure `kramdown-plantuml` to use the `spacelab`

theme in Jekyll's `_config.yml`:



```yaml

kramdown:

  plantuml:

    theme:

      name: spacelab

```



If you have custom, local themes you'd like to use, you need to provide the

`directory` in which they are placed alongside the `name` of the theme you'd

like to use:



```yaml

kramdown:

  plantuml:

    theme:

      name: my-custom-theme

      directory: spec/examples

```



### Dimensions and Styling



It's possible to customize the dimensions and scale of the diagram by providing

the `width`, `height` and `scale` configuration keys. It's also possible to add

arbitrary styling with the `style` key.



`scale` is applied before the diagram is generated, while `width` and `height`

are applied after, meaning they can be combined (to most likely detrimental

results, but YOLO).



```yaml

kramdown:

  plantuml:

    width: 200px

    height: 100px

    scale: 2

    style: "border: 1px solid black"

```



To remove the `width`, `height` and `style` attributes from the ``

element, set the key's value to `none`. `scale` does not support a value of

`none` as it does not need to be removed.



```yaml

kramdown:

  plantuml:

    width: none

    height: none

    style: none

```



### Errors



By default, `kramdown-plantuml` will raise an error and crash if something goes

wrong during processing. This can be circumvented by setting the `raise_errors`

configuration key to `false`:



```yaml

kramdown:

  plantuml:

    raise_errors: false

```



The default value of `raise_errors` is `true`.



## Contributing



Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on [GitHub][github]. This project is

intended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are

expected to adhere to the [code of conduct][coc] and sign the

[contributor's license agreement][cla].



### Development



In order to do development on `kramdown-plantuml`, [clone] or [fork]

this repository, perform the changes you want and submit a [pull request][pr].



The easiest way to develop and test `kramdown-plantuml` is to add it as a

[Jekyll][jekyll] plugin installed from a local path in your `Gemfile`:



```ruby

gem 'kramdown-plantuml', path: 'path/to/kramdown-plantuml'

```



Every time you perform a change to `kramdown-plantuml`, you can then, within

the directory of your Jekyll site, do a `bundle install` to bring the changes

in and then start Jekyll up again afterwards with `bundle exec jekyll serve`.



#### Tests



A few tests are exercised with GitHub Actions every time code is pushed to the

repository on GitHub. You can execute these tests locally by first installing

all dependencies as such:



```shell

bundle install # Installs required Ruby Gems

bundle exec rake maven:install # Installs the PlantUML .jar file

```



And then to execute the tests you run the following:



```shell

bundle exec rake

```
