Support for Ditaa diagrams #57

PlantUML has integration with Ditaa. I've setup Mediawiki on Linux server, add Diagrams extension, I've tested nwdiag and sequence diagrams - everything works. I've installed from package repository (openSUSE) both

# zypper se -i -v ditaa

# which plantuml 
/usr/bin/plantuml
# which ditaa

After adding basic ditaa diagrams from plantuml's page

<uml>
@startuml
ditaa
+--------+   +-------+    +-------+

@enduml
</uml>

(tested @startditaa and @endditaa syntax but also does not work) I see the output in the article: https://paste.opensuse.org/5345902 Mediawiki 1.38.0 but tested also on earlier stable version. There is seperate Ditaa extension but it's unmaintened and does not work anymore on MW 1.38 Is it something I can check more or that kind of PlantUML diagram is not supported by extension?

This is great. I didn't realise that Ditaa was built in to PlantUML.

It'd be best to support <ditaa> tags wouldn't it, to avoid the workaround you give above?

bkaczynski commented 2 years ago

Yes, It would. If it's not a problem if <ditaa> tag is used by unmaintained Ditaa extension
