Hi

I want to export a diagram, which has a syntax compatible with Orgmode.


I have these headlines:


* Business Process Modelling WBS
** Launch the project
*** Complete Stakeholder Research
*** Initial Implementation Plan
** Design phase
*** Model of AsIs Processes Completed
**** Model of AsIs Processes Completed1
**** Model of AsIs Processes Completed2
*** Measure AsIs performance metrics
*** Identify Quick Wins
** Complete innovate phase


And I want to export them into a WBS diagram, so I make this block:


#+begin_src plantuml :file my-diagram.png

@startwbs

  * Business Process Modelling WBS
  ** Launch the project
  *** Complete Stakeholder Research
  *** Initial Implementation Plan
  ** Design phase
  *** Model of AsIs Processes Completed
  **** Model of AsIs Processes Completed1
  **** Model of AsIs Processes Completed2
  *** Measure AsIs performance metrics
  *** Identify Quick Wins
  ** Complete innovate phase

@endwbs

#+end_src


A workflow could be:

- to use "org-cut-special" and to yank the headlines inside the plantuml 
block.

- After that, I would have to run a macro to insert a blank space before 
each headline, so orgmode doesn't recognize them as headlines.

- Each time I modified the original headlines, I would have to repeat 
that process.

Probably it would be faster to use "org-toggle-item" and work with 
lists, instead of headlines, but there must be a reason for the syntax 
compatibility with orgmode. There must be an intended workflow...

Could be the headlines exported in a faster way?

Could be possible to avoid the duplication of information? (To create 
the diagram directly from the headlines, without yanking a copy of them).
