PlantUML is a component that allows to quickly write :

• Sequence diagram
• Usecase diagram
• Class diagram
• Activity diagram (here is the legacy syntax)
• Component diagram
• State diagram
• Object diagram
• Deployment diagram
• Timing diagram

The following non-UML diagrams are also supported:

• Wireframe graphical interface
• Archimate diagram
• Specification and Description Language (SDL)
• Ditaa diagram
• Gantt diagram
• MindMap diagram
• Work Breakdown Structure diagram
• Mathematic with AsciiMath or JLaTeXMath notation

for example, the code below will render a picture:

Bob->Alice : hello

Closing as PlantUML is not client side JS, also it's not currently supported by Hugo even if PlantUML has been manually installed locally: https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/796.

The recommendations for diagramming can be found here: https://sourcethemes.com/academic/docs/writing-markdown-latex/#diagrams

Also, I have opened #1111 to consider integrating Mermaid.js for generating diagrams.

Couldn't calls to PlantUML's public server be used to generate the images into resources/_gen at "compile" time? Or is there a rule against building using external services? If not, I may look into this as I've gotten spoiled with the feature at GitLab.

@gcushen Not sure why this was closed?

PlantUML can generate SVG or PNG files at build time, which could then be ingested like any other SVG/PNG file.
