Subject: ob-plantuml: Proposal to add 'jar-args' customizable variable
Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2021 23:56:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5d7eba13-b717-a12a-5f89-7d2c9414917e@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I use PlantUML integration in org-mode for years now, but only
recently I came across some unwanted behavior.
Using PlantUML from jar (org-plantuml-jar-path variable) and latest
org-mode, I wanted to render a diagram containing some Unicode
characters (such as '⊥' and '∀'), but the end image had some gibberish
instead. However,
trying this from a standalone file using plantuml-mode[1], the end image
rendered correctly. Here is some sample code which can reproduce the issue:
#+BEGIN_SRC plantuml :file ./test.png
A -> B: ∀ characters display correctly is ⊥
#+END_SRC
Comparing ob-plantuml.el and plantuml-mode.el files I found what is the
problem. plantuml-mode has a customizable variable for specifying
arguments when using PlantUML from jar (plantuml-jar-args (list
"-charset" "UTF-8" ). The charset arguments is what is needed for
the images to render correctly (I confirmed it by implementing it locally).
I was wondering why such variable doesn't exist in ob-plantuml. I have
searched the mailing list archives, confirmed bugs and help page and
couldn't find anything related.
Does anyone from the community know if such variable was deliberately
omitted? If so, what is the reason?
If this is indeed a wanted feature, I will be more than happy to provide
a patch.
