Describe the feature you'd like

It would be great to have an API that allows for integrations such as the great modelling tool diagrams.net

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

We love to document concepts in bookstack for our clients. However, to be more interactive and update diagrams, we'd love to see diagrams.net in Bookstack for interactive documentation

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No

Hi @dominikschroeck,

I'm not really sure what such an API would look like, since many front-end services can do quite different things. I'm also not keen on further supporting dynamic elements due to their impact on what we can expect, build for, and assure in terms of keeping to standard portable content types that can work in other formats (export/print).

To focus on your current desire of diagrams.net, what exactly do you want upon our existing integration/use of diagrams.net?
