Pandoc filter: converts PlantUML code blocks to PlantUML images

## NAME

pandoc-plantuml - Pandoc filter: converts PlantUML code blocks to PlantUML images

## SYNOPSIS

**pandoc** **--filter pandoc-plantuml** \[**...**\]

## DESCRIPTION

**pandoc-plantuml** is a filter for pandoc and is not intended to be used as a standalone command.

This manual page documents briefly the **pandoc-plantuml** command.

## EXAMPLES

In your (in this example Markdown) document insert plantuml diagrams like this:

````
```plantuml
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request

````

This will create an output file with a **plantuml**-generated image linked in the file. The image will be put under the relative dir plantuml-images.
