## Description

This layer is for PlantUML development.

## Features

- Syntax highlighting
- Inline previews

## Install

### Layer

To use this configuration layer, update custom configuration file with:

```toml
[[layers]]
  name = "lang#plantuml"
```

## Configuration

When you want to see picture which plantuml draw, you need to set
plantuml_jar_path. You should find or install plantuml.jar in 
your system.
Then you give the path to `plantuml_jar_path`. see below.

This is just example.
```toml
 [[layers]]
  name = "lang#plantuml"
  plantuml_jar_path = "/usr/share/plantuml/plantuml.jar"
```

### Limitation

You can't do any opration While you preview the result of plantuml.
You write one more part of plantuml diagram, you can not see all
picures. You can see first one.
