## NAME
IkiWiki::Plugin::mscgen - embed message sequence chart
## SYNOPSIS
In the ikiwiki setup file, enable this plugin by adding it to the list of active plugins.
add_plugins:
- mscgen
## DESCRIPTION
This plugin provides the msc [[ikiwiki/directive]].
This directive allows embedding [mscgen](http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/)
message sequence chart graphs in an ikiwiki page.
Here's an example that shows how an mscgen message sequence chart is embedded into an ikiwiki page.
\[[!msc src="""
arcgradient = 8;
a [label="Client"],b [label="Server"];
a=>b [label="data1"];
a-xb [label="data2"];
a=>b [label="data3"];
a<=b [label="ack1, nack2"];
a=>b [label="data2", arcskip="1"];
|||;
a<=b [label="ack3"];
|||;

Security implications: to be determined.
This plugin borrows heavily from the [[graphviz|plugins/graphviz]] plugin written by [[JoshTriplett]].
