[[IT/AD/PlantUML/]] is an astoundingly useful tool, so I was really happy to find out there was a DokuWiki Plugin for it.

Except...the official plugin stopped working sometime in 2013.

## Notes ##

I'm not the only one that noticed that the plugin stopped working:

* https://github.com/Andreone/dokuwiki_plantuml/issues/17
* http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/qa/?qa=1257/any-reason-the-new-release-would-stop-working-in-dokuwiki&show=1288#a1288


The various 'solutions' given didn't seem to work for everyone (including me). 

After I had looked at the actual code, and compared it to the official suggestion on how to write a php solution (see: http://plantuml.sourceforge.net/codephp.html), did I feel that they were much better than cargo-cult answers.

So even though I haven't written in php in more than 13 years (and it obviously shows!) I sat down to rewrite the plugin.

A zip of the rewritten package is available [here](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11851202/Posted/IT/About/DokuWiki/Plugins/PlantUML/plantuml.mod.by.skysigal.20131214.zip).
