Support PlantUML Syntax and render diagrams in view

Why is it useful? PlantUML is a coding way of creating UML diagrams. An example can be found at the following web page: https://plantuml.com/sequence-diagram Who would benefit from it? Many small companies which cannot afford/use Rhapsody for UML diagrams. How would the solution look like? Ideally, the plantuml code can be placed as an element in DoorsNG. When an user selects the element, a widget could show the diagram rendering of this plantuml code. - examine the selected artefact to determine if it's an artefact or type that contains plantuml - extract the text - send it off to the plantuml server for rendering - take the result and display in the widget, or save as an image and link to the original. Or if there is a view of diagrams without the need of widget, it would be perfect. Doors has this plantuml tool in it integrated and can directly render the diagrams in view mode. In edit mode, the code can be shown.

This request may be resubmitted for consideration after 12 months from the date of decline. The request submitter will automatically be notified by email when the request qualifies for reconsideration and resubmission.
