Enabling Extensions

In your program, you can either load and register the entire set of diagram extensions

or load and register each extension individually.

<extension_name> can be one of a2s, blockdiag, bytefield, diagrams, ditaa, dpic, erd, gnuplot, graphviz, meme, mermaid, msc, pikchr, plantuml, shaape, smcat, svgbob, syntrax, umlet, vega or wavedrom.

Requiring one or more of these files will automatically register the extensions for all processed documents.

If you need more fine-grained control over when the extensions are enabled, asciidoctor-diagram/<extension_name>/extension can be used instead. This loads the extensions but does not register it in the Asciidoctor extension registry. You can then manually register the extensions at the appropriate times using the Asciidoctor::Extensions API.

This document explains the various features of asciidoctor-diagram blocks using ditaa diagrams as an example.
