Python Markdown extension that converts inline dot graph definitions to images

What is it

A Python Markdown extension that replaces inline dot graph defintions with an image tag pointing to the generated graph image.

Installation

Checkout and easy_install or pip install it:

$ git clone git://github.com/jrd/markdown-dot.git
$ cd markdown-dot
$ easy_install .

Usage

Activate the dot extension and place the graph defintions in your markup like so:

{% dot output.png
	digraph G {
		rankdir=LR
		S0 -> A [label="-"]
		A -> B [label="-"]
		A -> C [label=">"]

		A [peripheries=2]
		B [peripheries=2]
		C [peripheries=2]
	}
%}

The block above will then be replaced with an img tag pointing to the generated png file.

If the file name starts with a !, the image will still be generated but no img tag will be included in the result.
