UML diagrams on PlantUML rendering differently on Markbind as compared to on the preview #552

In the inbuilt view in IntelliJ, my PlantUML diagram looks like this:

However, when published to Markbind, the lines seem to have an issue (look at top right of the diagram, between UniqueAppointmentList and AppointmentBook.

Anyone with any idea why this might be happening?

@zaidansani Did your team update this diagram or is this the original diagram? The differences can be due to different versions of PlantUML used by Intellij and MarkBind (sometimes it even varies based on the OS), but both versions should appear correctly with only cosmetic differences between them. I haven't seen this kind of discrepancies before.

Of course you did. I didn't check the diagram carefully before writing that 🤦

Perhaps try installing MarkBind locally and preview the diagram through that? If it is messed up, you can try tweaking the PlantUML code (e.g., reorder elements) to see if you can arrive at a version that renders correctly.
