PlantUML now can generate diagrams other than UML. In such cases the usual @startuml does not make sense anymore. So now we allow diagrams start with @startXYZ and finish with @endXYZ, where XYZ can change with the type of diagram and can be any characters (including spaces). This means that plugin developers are encouraged to change their code to recognize @start instead of @startuml. DITAA diagrams are usually formatted as @startditaa...@endditaa. Ditaa (DIagrams Through Ascii Art) is an Open Source project that allows to generate general diagrams from a text descriptions. The idea is close to PlantUML, and it may be useful for documentation to generate other diagrams than UML. Then PlantUML allows this : 🎉 Copied!

You will find the complete documentation about ditaa on: It is now not possible to use Ditaa with @startuml by using ditaa keyword on the very first line of your description. You must now use @startditaa and @endditaa. ⚠ On PlantUML, only PNG generation is supported. You can also use some option, after the @startditaa or ditaa keyword: -E or --no-separation to remove separator-S or --no-shadows to remove shadowscale=<XYZ> to scale up or down the diagram
Without option 🎉 Copied!
