Rendering plantuml / mermaid in markdowns included with !docs

[gparmeggiani]

Question

I'm trying to render a plantuml diagram in a markdown file included with !docs, however it doesn't render and I simply see the contents of the plantuml script.

Is this a supported feature?

Here's the example I'm trying to render:

@startuml 

Alice -> Bob: Hello!
Bob -> Alice: Hi!
		
@enduml

You have a couple of options:

1. Image views.
2. You can write a DSL plugin to pre-process the PlantUML in your Markdown files ... see https://github.com/structurizr/examples/tree/main/dsl/plantuml-and-mermaid for an example.

thanks for the reply.

The plugin option achieves exactly what I need, as I can zoom-in from a component to the code where I can describe various aspects of the component with text and multiple plantuml diagrams.

Can the same be achieved with a script instead of a plugin? or could the plantuml / mermaid support be integrated? I'm asking because I'm thinking on how to distribute the plugin without committing to the repo the .jar file
