Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.

There is no need for the DokuWiki server to have internet access for this to work, just the browser viewing the page needs internet access.

Please refer to plantuml.com do get full description of the PlantUML syntax.

With PlantUML, you can draw:

• sequence diagram,
• use case diagram,
• class diagram,
• activity diagram,
• component diagram,
• state diagram,
• object diagram.

A typical PlantUML diagram is enclosed by @startuml and @enduml. Replace these by <uml> and </uml>.

This block:

<uml>
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response

Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
</uml>

renders this:

There is also a toolbar button that is added to quickly add the tags into the page.

Whatever is inside the uml tags will be displayed as a SVG on the wiki page:

<uml>
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response

Alice -> Bob: Another authentication Request
Alice <-- Bob: another authentication Response
</uml>
