Markdown aafigure

This is an extension for Python Markdown which renders diagrams using aafigure.

Project/Repo:

Code Quality/CI:

INFO: You may want to consider using the markdown-svgbob extension instead of this one. svgbob has an online editor and supports a wider range of shapes and diagrams. Its main disadvantage is that it "only" has builtin support for x86_64 on Windows, Linux and Mac, in contrast to aafigure which is pure python and supported everywhere.

Install

$ pip install markdown-aafigure
$ pip install Pillow    # only if you want to render as png

Use

In your markdown text you can define the block:

```aafigure
      +-----+   ^
      |     |   |
  --->+     +---o--->
      |     |   |
      +-----+   V
```

Parameters can be set for individual figures. Availabale parameters

```aafigure {"foreground": "#ff0000"}
      +-----+   ^
      |     |   |
  --->+     +---o--->
      |     |   |
      +-----+   V
```
