#2That is a clever method for embedding, and I like the minimal syntax.
We've been using Plectica[1] for these sorts of diagrams and finding it to be pretty great. Not sure if they support export to svg out of the box yet though.

Ah, that's a neat tool! I've actually been kind of looking for something like this for work. Thanks for sharing.

#4Great work! Would you be interested in adding capabilities for PlantUML? The syntax is very similar. If so, I'll donate $50 to you or your favorite charity.
Demo diagrams with syntax examples -- see the final one for an example document that I want to render for my team's devops pipeline:

Hey there! Not a bad idea. Can you make an issue on the repo?

#6This is nice. Good stuff.
I've always automated my Markdeep[1] documentation's inline PlantUML diagrams with a few scripts here and there (simply looks for .puml files, exports PNG and SVG and hosts everything on a static site), but I've never imagined using a service for supplying the generated output. I want to bounce off this idea somehow.

#7Used WSD web sequence diagram at Amazon, handy, never thought it was too much of a pain to snip it out and embed that somewhere; but I get the idea.

#8mermaid-filter is also a great part in the tool-chain, especially with pandoc.

Lucidchart?

#10I will chip in as a happy user of PlantText[1]. It allows you to edit PlantUML diagrams, renders them, and you can either download them as PNGs, SVG, or ASCII. I'm pretty sure you can also directly link to an image, although I'm not sure about ToS, so don't do it without fact-checking. Oh, and it saves your content locally.
