Subject: [PATCH] Using org babel for generating ASCII art using PlantUML
Date: Sat, 09 Mar 2013 22:37:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <513BAB7D.1000603@oracle.com> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 474 bytes --]

Hi all,

I find the PlantUML support very useful to generate diagrams when
presenting designs, but unfortunately, I quite frequently have to send
simple descriptions requiring ASCII only. Since PlantUML support
generation of ASCII-art diagrams, I updated the org babel PlantUML
support to generate ASCII art in place when no :file parameter is provided.

Patch is attached.

Just my few cents,
Mats Kindahl
