Use xml in plantuml diagram

Question

Hi,

I want to use display the xml requests (NETCONF) between client and server. But for some reason I get an error when trying to convert the below text file to PNG.
Any ideas?

//mikael

@startuml
autonumber
[<--com.company.commonlibrary.netconf.transport.Ssh:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<hello xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0">
   <capabilities>

Hi,

Not sure about what you want to do, but PlantUML does not use XML as input file...
