Feature Request: math and latex

[schlichtanders]

According to PlantUML it should be easy to add ascii-math support http://plantuml.com/ascii-math

even latex support seems possible according to the same reference.

Any plans for supporting it?

I followed the instructions on that page for unzipping the jar files into the same directory with plantuml.2017.08.jar and saw the following results with the examples:

Currently, @startmath and @startlatex tags aren't correctly recognized for multi image support but work as expected if only one appears in a file.

The only support that I see missing is the multi page handling with tags other than @startuml.

thank you so much! That looks much simpler than I thought originally.

can you share which directory it was where you put those additional jar files?

The package does not include plantuml so you need to put the jar files in the same location as PlantUML Jar in the package settings. This article may clarify a few things http://trevershick.github.io/atom/2015/12/04/plantuml-snippets.html.

Specifically I downloaded and unzipped the jar files to ~/Downloads/plantuml-jlatexmath and then added plantuml.2017.08.jar to that folder and changed the PlantUML Jar setting accordingly.

$ ls Downloads/plantuml-jlatexmath
batik-all-1.7.jar            jlm_cyrillic.jar             plantuml.2017.08.jar
jlatexmath-minimal-1.0.3.jar jlm_greek.jar
