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

Hi Mats,

Thanks for sharing this patch, I think defaulting to text output when no
:file argument is given is a great idea, and your patch looks good.

Unfortunately, being part of Emacs, Org-mode's contribution rules are
pretty strict.  Would you be willing to go through the Emacs Copyright
attribution process described here [1] so that we may apply this patch?

Thanks,

This could be useful, yes, but we cannot apply this patch until you
sign the FSF copyright assignment, as ob-plantuml.el is part of Org's
core which is part of Emacs.

If you want to sign the assignment, please let me know and I'll send
you the details in private.

Thanks!

Thank you Bastien,

I've got the necessary papers and am working on it. I don't expect any
problems, it's just red tape.

I'll be back once I have the signatures I need.
