Plantuml support / Gitlab Markdown

[hcw70]

I am trying to convert several .md files which are written for gitlab markdown into a standalone html document for delivery.

These documents may contain plantuml tags to render UML charts ( see https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/integration/plantuml.html ).

It would be great if markdown-to-html could add support for this so converting these files from the command line would be possible.

Sounds like a cool idea, but there may be a major roadblock -- it requires a PlantUML server. "Before you can enable PlantUML in GitLab; you need to set up your own PlantUML server that will generate the diagrams. Installing and configuring your own PlantUML server is easy in Debian/Ubuntu distributions using Tomcat."

Actually the gitlab approach is to use a plantuml server. But there are many ways to render plantuml, the most direct way is to call plantuml.jar from the command line. Btw, i found https://github.com/mikitex70/plantuml-markdown which is integrating it into http://pythonhosted.org/Markdown/ as a plugin. Maybe you can have a look there (and also i will look if it fits my needs).

If someone would rewrite plantuml.jar in NodeJS, it would make integration a lot easier. :-) While I would love to see something like Plantuml become usable in markdown-to-html, I think it's too big a change for me to undertake in the near future. I'm quite busy with other things just now. However, I urge anyone who would like to make it happen to go ahead and do so, forking this project if that seems the best way to do it. Cheers.
