Markdown Inline Graphviz (for Python 3)

This is just a continuation of the great job of Steffen Prince in sprin/markdown-inline-graphviz, in order to get it work with pip3. If you use python 2, please use the original extension instead.

A Python Markdown extension that replaces inline Graphviz definitions with inline SVGs or PNGs!

Why render the graphs inline? No configuration! Works with any Python-Markdown-based static site generator, suche originas MkDocs, Pelican, and Nikola out of the box without configuring an output directory.

Installation

$ pip3 install markdown_inline_graphviz_extension --user

Usage

Activate the markdown_inline_graphviz extension. For example, with Mkdocs, you add a stanza to mkdocs.yml:

markdown_extensions:
    - markdown_inline_graphviz

To use it in your Markdown doc, with SVG output:

```graphviz dot attack_plan.svg
digraph G {
    rankdir=LR
    Earth [peripheries=2]
    Mars
    Earth -> Mars
}
```

or with PNG:

```graphviz dot attack_plan.png
digraph G {
    rankdir=LR
    Earth [peripheries=2]
    Mars
    Earth -> Mars
}
```

Alternatively you can still using {% legacy notation but its not recommended.

{% dot attack_plan.svg
    digraph G {
        rankdir=LR
        Earth [peripheries=2]
        Mars
        Earth -> Mars
    }
%}

Supported graphviz commands: dot, neato, fdp, sfdp, twopi, circo.

Credits

Inspired by jawher/markdown-dot, which renders the dot graph to a file instead of inline.
