sphinxcontrib-plantuml For Linux

sphinxcontrib-plantuml is a plantuml extension for Sphinx.

First, you may need to specify plantuml command in your conf.py:

plantuml = ['java', '-jar', '/path/to/plantuml.jar']

Instead, you can install a wrapper script in your PATH:

% cat < < EOT > /usr/local/bin/plantuml #!/bin/sh -e java -jar /path/to/plantuml.jar "$@" EOT % chmod +x /usr/local/bin/plantuml

Then, write PlantUML text under .. uml:: directive:

.. uml::

Alice - > Bob: Hi!  Alice < - Bob: How are you?

For details, please see PlantUML documentation.
