📐 PlantUML

We’re running a PlantUML Server to create our own PlantUML diagrams.

Hint

The PlantUML server is deployed in the PlantUML Server GitLab project and is only available from within private networks.

Use PlantUML

You can either use the Web UI of the PlantUML Server or you can use our tools:plantuml-client CLI script.

PlantUML documentation

Since the official docs are quite “adventurous” to understand, you might want to have a look at Ashley’s PlantUML Documentation. Some interesting chapters are:

• All Diagrams

• Formatting Diagrams with Skinparams, HTML, and Creole

• Color Names and Samples

• Creole Markup

• All Skin Parameters

The official documentation for PlantUML can be found here:

• PDF Guide (good for starting)

• PlantUML website

• Standard Library

• Language specification

• The Hitchhiker’s Guide to PlantUML

Sphinx

You can also build PlantUML diagrams in your docs. Just have a look at the 📝 Documentation chapter.
