Include links in PlantUML

[Vikaash Mahabir]

PlantUML supports including links. I've tried this out, but the links aren't clickable. Does any special syntax apply here to make this work?

Hi Vikaash.

We are working on an update that will support links and much more.

Stay tuned.

Awesome! ETA?

Aiming for the end of Q1.

Update: new release is pending Atlassian approval. Hopefully, it won't take more than couple of weeks.

An updated version has been released. Check it out.

Thanks! I've been notified this is a paid update, so currently my request for this update is being processed by my company's IT budget owner.

There is a workaround by setting option 'Image format = SVG'

Hi Vikaash,

Have you already solved your problem?

We have PlantUML installed but I do not use it at all and I'm not familiar with the code. If you provided me with a sample code, I could try if this works on our instance.

Cheers,
Kirstin

Hi @Kirstin Seidel-Gebert , I didn't receive a notification, hence the tardy response... To answer your question: no, unfortunately I have not. You could try the following code to see if it works for you. Mind you, we're using Confluence Cloud.

@startuml
|Department A|
start
:[[http://plantuml.com/start Screen-1]]
Clicks on
Create
button;
:Completes
wizard;
:Task is
handed over
to department B;
|#AntiqueWhite|Department B|
:[[http://plantuml.com/start Screen-1]]
Completes
task created
by department A;
stop

This should result in:

 

(now the correct diagram that goes with the code ;) )
