Use the markdown fence syntax to create a new PlantUML diagram. Inside this block you can use the syntax documented at https://plantuml.com.
Syntax example:

Rendering example:
Syntax example:
```plantuml
@startmindmap
* Debian
** Ubuntu
*** Linux Mint
*** Kubuntu
*** Lubuntu
*** KDE Neon
** LMDE
** SolydXK
** SteamOS
** Raspbian with a very long name
*** <s>Raspmbc</s> => OSMC
*** <s>Raspyfi</s> => Volumio
@endmindmap
```
Rendering example:
Use the context menu (mouser right click) on the rendered diagram to copy the image or the url.
If you don't remember the syntax to create a PlantUML diagram you can use the templates in the tools menu
You can create links to other notes inside the PlantUML diagram using the link joplin://<noteid>
. This feature is only available when the rendering format Vector Image (svg)
is selected.
Example:
```plantuml
@startmindmap

Use the plugin's options to define the rendering server and the output format.
List of plantUml rendering issues that cannot be solved because not related to this plugin but to the official server.
Code: #3
Problem: Latex math formulas cannot be rendered as svg images
Example:
@startuml
skinparam handwritten true
:<math>int_0^1f(x)dx</math>;
:<math>x^2+y_1+z_12^34</math>;
note right
Try also
<math>d/dxf(x)=lim_(h->0)(f(x+h)-f(x))/h</math>
<latex>P(y|\mathbf{x}) \mbox{ or } f(\mathbf{x})+\epsilon</latex>
end note
@enduml
Workaround: Modify in the plugin options the rendering mode to Raster image (png)
