Content Comparison

Include content from attachment or other wiki page

The PlantUML Macro supports the !include directive to include attachments or wiki pages in your diagram. It is not allowed to include files from the filesystem on the server side.

The following link types are supported:

• ^attachment.ext
• pagetitle
• pagetitle^attachment.ext
• spacekey:pagetitle
• spacekey:pagetitle^attachment.ext 

In the following example the content of the attachment common.iuml from the current wiki page will be included.

{startuml} 
!include ^common.iuml 
Foo <!-- Bar 
{startuml}

URLs in diagrams

This feature is not supported in sequence and ditaa diagrams.

You can link components of a diagram to other Confluence pages or to external URLs (see sample below). The linkage is still beta since this feature is not officially integrated into the PlantUML library! From version 1.4.2 links can also be written using Confluence markup.

{plantuml}
Internet --|> Space
Space --|> Page
url for Internet is [[http://www.jcoderz.org/fawkez]]
url for Space is [[FOO:Bar]]
url for Page is [Link in Confluence Markup|Home]
{plantuml}

The following list contains all different link notations that can be used inside Confluence:

• [#anchor] 
• [pagetitle]
• [pagetitle#anchor]
• [spacekey:pagetitle]
• [spacekey:pagetitle#anchor]
• [phrase@shortcut]

url for Space is [[FOO:Bar|This is the link text]]
url for Space is [This is the link text|FOO:Bar]

Standard links are enclosed by two brackets instead of Confluence links that are enclosed by only one bracket. If the link starts with a slash '/' like /path/to/file.html or the link contains a protocol like http://www.jcoderz.org than this will not be interpreted as Confluence link and therefore stays untouched.

Embedding Images

It is possible to embed images into a diagram using the creole engine.

Image Added

Svek

The default rendering mode for PlantUML diagrams is Svek. The difference between Svek and the old GraphViz rendering mode is illustrated in the following picture:

The 1st diagram left is rendered using the (old) GraphViz mode. The other diagrams are rendered using the (default) Svek rendering mode (w/ and w/o drop-shadow effect and the last one is a SVG image instead of PNG image).

SVG Support

All diagrams are rendered as PNG image by default. You can switch to SVG output format using the "format" macro parameter:

{plantuml:format=SVG}
Foo o-- Bar
{plantuml}
