WireViz: Easily document cables and wiring harnesses
Your wish showing up in the face of a submission just 14 days ago and then another 29 days ago must be indicative of why there are so many dupes all the time: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=kroki.io
You can feel free to submit the GH repo, as that one doesn't seem to have been submitted before https://github.com/yuzutech/kroki

D2 Playground
Pikchr https://pikchr.org/home/pikchrshow is the other general purpose one and older than d2. It is "Source-Code License: 0-clause BSD" as it says on the page.
Someone made it into wasm and put playground for pikchr here https://www.jakethaw.com/pikchr_webassembly_demo/
Can also try pikchr online here on https://kroki.io/#try which is hosting many other text to diagram tools as well.

Nomnoml
If you don't mind my asking, what aspects of "acceptable layout" is usually the first to get busted?
I'm extremely excited about using WireViz[1] to automate wiring harness diagram creation, and if I can, I'd like to know the speedbumps before I hit them. I'm thinkin generous linking between diagrams will be one path.

The SVG output is embedded into the PDF file.

Kroki has other text-based formats for flow charts, Gantt charts, UML diagrams, packet diagrams, network diagrams, word clouds, etc.

Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML
My cross-platform desktop text editor, KeenWrite, allows users to define variables in an external YAML file. The editor calls out to Kroki[1] to convert text-based diagrams to SVG. The diagrams can reference variables and are rendered using EchoSVG[2].
KeenWrite[3] can produce PDF documentation from Markdown documents that has PlantUML diagrams with elements stored in an external, machine-readable file. Here are screenshots showing variables on the left, diagram text in the middle, and a real-time render on the right:

KeenWrite supports all diagrams offered by Kroki, which includes "diagram-plantuml".

Nomnoml
> 7. You can put them in the source where they are relevant.
> Got a hairy state machine? Stick a comment at the top with something like nomnoml's syntax and anyone can follow what's going on without having to trace through the code.
For that use-case a markup graph language is a poor solution. Use https://asciiflow.com instead to produce something that people can digest without needing a third-party tool that may not even exist anymore.

Typograms: A definition and renderer for ASCII diagrams
Many diagrams I am able to draw manually as I'm editing source code on emacs, but for more complicated ones I tend to use this: https://asciiflow.com . To each their own, so pick your favorite ASCII editor.

Good graphic FlowChart drawing tool ?
This isn't at all what you are asking for but I use it in code all the time for flow-charting logic. https://asciiflow.com/ And on the plus side, the output is very portable.
