Math formulas in diagrams (activity, component, etc)

Question

Hello,

I tried to include math formulas in activity diagrams without success.

I tried all explained ways:

:<math>...</math>;

@startmath ... @endmath

@startlatex ... @endlatex

I also tried to make a file with only formulas, using @startmath/@endmath surrounded by various @startuml (id=xx)/@endduml so I can include formulas by names in puml files.

None of these seems to work.

Is this an issue with the syntax I use, or is this a limitation of PlantUML?

If it is a limitation, this would be really great if it could be integrated in later PlantUML version.

Thanks for the help!

I forgot to mention:
I tried this with PlantUML plug-in in Visual Studio Code.

I put AsciiMath and JLatexMath in the plug-in folder where plantuml.jar is located.

I also tested the plantuml.jar version and switched to the latest jar available on the website to be able to generate math formulas correctly following examples given in language specification.

Hello S.,

Just to answer to an old unanswered question (and confirm that is now OK):

On activity diagram:

@startuml
start
:<math>int_-1^1 sqrt(1-x^2)dx = pi/2</math>;
:<math>...</math>;
end
@enduml

On component:

@startuml
node math [
<math>int_-1^1 sqrt(1-x^2)dx = pi/2</math>
]
@enduml

And in Visual Studio Code, this should work since it uses a plantuml server...

Regards,
Th.

Visual studio code still does not work. While the website works very well.

Tried to run this locally, while it still failed to render the correct equations.
