How to use PlantUML with Markdown

PlantUML is a really awesome way to create diagrams by writing code instead of drawing and dragging visual elements. Markdown is a really nice documentation tool.

Here's how I combine the two, to create docs with embedded diagrams.

Step 0: Setup

Get the command-line PlantUML from the download page or your relevant package manager.

	var b = "‎877495169fa05b9d8639a0ebc42022338f7d2324";
	a.ToUpper().Dump();
	b.ToUpper().Dump();
	(a.ToUpper() == b.ToUpper()).Dump("ToUpper");
	(a.ToUpperInvariant() == b.ToUpperInvariant()).Dump("ToUpperInvariant");
	string.Equals(a, b, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase).Dump("OrdinalIgnoreCase");
	string.Equals(a, b, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase).Dump("InvariantCultureIgnoreCase");
