That's interesting. It's not hard to see the problem. HTML labels don't help, either. How do other languages solve this? Like, a shell HERE document that has one fixed string as a terminator? The graphviz lexer https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/cgraph/... seems hackable but disabling downstream processing of escapes elsewhere would be necessary too. Possibly this would mean bypassing some of the processing in the function make_label in https://gitlab.com/graphviz/graphviz/-/blob/main/lib/common/...

It's a disappointment or even failure of our current language scanning and parsing tools or, really, the way we used them, that this is not an easy exercise.

Diagrams as Code based on graphviz; for prototyping cloud system architectures

New version 3.0 of my PlantUML App for iPad is out with exciting update! 🤩 The new multi-modality feature now lets you transform hand-drawn diagrams into PlantUML scripts with just a pencil ✍🏻 or your fingers 👆. Take a look 👀 to this short on YouTube and download it from App Store to support me 👍🏻.

Someone at work showed me https://plantuml.com/ recently. If you want your diagrams as code . Version controlled etc.. I highly recommend it.

Maybe try PlantUML.

Open-source tool that uses simple textual descriptions to draw beautiful UML diagrams.

Seems like a considerable upgrade from PlanUML (https://plantuml.com/ - which is amazing, but sometimes you just can't seem to be able to align the stuff the way you want too).

plantuml is amongst the best there is. kroki.io has a sandbox for it mermaid.js can do it in notion, it works as well as any other mermaid. dbvisualizer is fantastic if you have an existing schema in a db instance. you may need the trial license to render the diagrams

PlantUML ima podsku za mnogo vise dijagrama - https://plantuml.com/ (bar za sada).

I mean, I know about PlantUML where you can write code that will generate cool diagrams and it's feels like one of solutions\implementations but not the right one. What actual way people in huge companies create UML diagrams for their projects? I can't find any software or language syntax, even guides on Youtube about UML is just hours of talking about all sorts of UML diagrams without ever mentioning any software or syntax or actual way to create them.
