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".

Pikchr: A PIC-like markup language for diagrams in technical documentation
I recently had to draw some diagrams for documenting something. After looking at various Markdown-friendly options I landed on svgbob[1]. I believe it's a superior solution to these kinds of graph drawing tools for Markdown for one specific reason: the code is still readable. When I go to look at a Markdown file I don't always open the output. I will commonly open up a README file in Vim or just cat it to the terminal. In this case diagrams like those in this post is next to useless. I'm not going to read through some complex drawing definitions and try to visualise the results. With svgbob (or Typograms[2] or any of the other similar options) you can still read the Markdown text document and see the diagrams which is great!
Of course this comes with a tradeoff, drawing the diagrams can be a bit of a pain. But I believe this can be solved by a good Markdown editor or editor plugin. Alternatively a spec like this could be converted into an svgbob-compatible diagram.

Ascii to svg tool svgbob v0.7.0 is just released with support for drawing arcs in quarter interval
Online playground svgbob-editor is also updated to use the latest version of svgbob. It is however a painfully slow to edit the diagrams from there, so it's better if you draw the diagram somwhere else and paste it to there.

Include diagrams in your Markdown files with Mermaid | The GitHub Blog
There’s Svgbob. Plus when it comes to more complex diagrams or graphs where creating the ASCII art by hand in can be quite finicky, there’s a number of tools (including drawing tools) to make creating ASCII art much easier.
