pandoc-filter-diagram -- render diagram markup in a Pandoc AST as SVG

Pandoc is a powerful tool for processing documents in various formats. It parses each of its supported input formats into an in-memory abstract syntax tree, and then renders any supported output format from such a tree. In between, it can run an arbitrary program to "filter" the tree, and the program can make any arbitrary changes to the tree.

This Rust crate provides a library to render as SVG diagrams in various markup languages, embedded in Markdown as [fenced code blocks][] that are marked with the appropriate class.

# Example

The following is a simplistic diagram using Graphviz dot language.

~~~dot
digraph "example" { thing -> other }
~~~

This crate also provides a command line program, pandoc-filter-diagram, which can be used with the Pandoc --filter command line option.

Languages

The library supports the following languages:

• pikchr

• Graphviz dot

• PlantUML

• roadmap

• raw SVG
