Markdown Works Too¶

Markdown syntax is supported through the recommonmark library.

PlantUML syntax is however not directly supported, so it's necessary to use something like the plantuml service to render diagrams. For example:

@startuml
Alice -> Joe: Authentication Request
Joe --> Alice: Authentication Response

Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
@enduml

Equates to the URL: http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/TSx12O0m38NXUwV80bb0HAf7ZsvGQy229chJ_GqgUD7p-_XvFciujAoBQvSK2R21NgY2jkXCh2a6JS8mq5uegxCDqCo5FrJUX3EvDzR9Q8p5t07XEthZ6l7MuKy_SKyysU4J

The encoding of the UML text to a URL path element is interesting. An example of an encoder in python: plantuml.py
