Plugin to render diagrams with ditaa

[anonymous]

​ditaa is a tool that reinterprets ascii drawings and produces nice bitmaps from them. I'd love to draw some graphics on a trac wiki page and have a plugin rendering it to png and showing that instead.

I've succeded in rendering my ascii diagrams (ditaa) on trac 0.12 using the following syntax

{{{
#!PlantUML
@startuml
ditaa
/----------\
| it works |
\----------/
@enduml
}}}

thanks to the great plantuml utility (and the corresponding plugin, available at PlantUmlMacro.

That is interesting. The code for PlantUmlMacro is pretty generic, so we could easily extend it to cover any JAR tool that creates images.
