Feature Request : Support for Text to UML tool(s)

[DaBisounours]

What is the problem?

Not a lot of us might need to print UML diagrams in their markdown files, but as this extension is called "All In One", I guess other people would need it as I do for my job.
Text to UML tools can produce automatically generated UML diagram from a specific language such as PlantUML, nomnoml and so on...
There are extensions that can preview it but once you try to export it, you are bound to what the exporting extension offers you.

How can I produce it?

Basically, the idea is to be able to embed some code directly into the markdown file as the following :

I have a local working version that I use by modding the existing extension (5 added/modified lines of code) and I thought that I could share it here as some others might need it as well, AND of course if it goes along the lines of the project.
It parses PlantUML code using the markdown-it-plantuml plug-in.

Tell me what you guys think of this.

The plan of this extension is to align with the CommonMark Spec plus some of widely recognized dialects (like GFM). There are too many dialects to support.

Markdown Preview Enhanced goes a different way that providing you as many features as possible. You can give it a try.

If you are willing to share your build to others, you can pack it into zip and upload it in the comment.
I will keep this request open to collect more people's opinions.

Thank you @neilsustc for your answer. Even though what was interesting was the fact that your extension can export markdown as html, I now understand why you cannot extend it with any dialects.

I may post tomorrow either the zip file or a quick tutorial to show how I did it so that others will be able to use their plugin of choice with your extension.

Closed with v3.0.0. This extension now works well with other Markdown plugins.
