jekyll-mscgen

A Jekyll plugin for generating message sequence charts using the mscgen tool.

You need to have mscgen installed (it's available through homebrew).

Expose the mscgen plugin to jekyll through a _plugins/gems.rb type file:

require 'jekyll-mscgen'

Then you can create a chart as so:

{% mscgen %}
hscale = "0.7";
# arcgradient = "2";

swap1,host1,host2,swap2;
|||;

# proposal
--- [ label=" attempt swap " ];

swap1->host1 [ label="propose swap1" ];
swap1<-host1 [ label="ok" ];

# ...
{% endmscgen %}

Generally you want to use CSS to add some styling, for example:

svg {
	line {
		color: #333;
	}
}

But expand as you wish:

1. Fork it
2. Create your feature branch (git checkout -b my-new-feature)
3. Commit your changes (git commit -am 'Add some feature')
4. Push to the branch (git push origin my-new-feature)
5. Create new Pull Request
