Render plantuml from another page

[TiesTheunissen]

In my main page I want to give an introduction to the diagram and further details. But the diagram itself I want it in another file. For example

• documantation
  • intro.md -diagrams
  • process.puml

if i combine the 2 files in 1 it works perfectly but i want them as seperete files that are combined into 1 page like

this diagram show the process of our company ```plantuml (./diagrams/process.puml) ```

So basically what you're asking is if it is possible to load a diagram from file rather than inline?

Yes, indeed

Not sure if still relevant, but it's possible using the include preprocessor directive of plantuml in combination with setting the plantuml include path.

1. Set the search path by adding it to the plantuml-cmd

   plantuml-cmd="java -Dplantuml.include.path=. -jar plantuml.jar"

2. Include external file into plantuml in target page

   @startuml
   !include diagrams/process.puml
