Allow using a PlantUML configuration file #88

Closed jmezach closed 1 year ago

jmezach commented 1 year ago

It would be nice if this extension would allow me to configure the location of a PlantUML config file. This would allow us to configure some global settings that apply to all the diagrams generated through PlantUML. Such a config file can be passed to the plantuml binary through the -config switch (see the documentation).

I'm thinking this could be a configurable option for the plantuml-markdown extension similar to how other options are configured. Obviously this would only work when using the local rendering mode as I don't think we can pass such a file to a PlantUML server, but that is fine at least for my purposes ;).

Again I'd be more than happy to submit a PR for this.

Hi @jmezach, I have released version '3.9.0' which has the 'config' plugin configuration option. The configured file is passed to plantuml with the -config command-line option. The file is considered to be related to the base_dir configuration option so that the file can also be used with plantuml servers.

If you use a local plantuml and you set the base_dir option, you MUST also set the plantuml_cmd option and pass the path with the -Dplantuml.include.path java option. There is no other way to inform plantuml of the directory were to search for includes.
