Markdown Macro, HTML, PlantUML, LaTeX, Diagrams, Open API for Confluence, and the PlantUML Diagram for Confluence add-ons serve different purposes. Markdown Macro and HTML are markup languages for creating formatted text, while LaTeX is a markup language primarily used for scientific documents. Diagrams and PlantUML are tools for creating diagrams, with PlantUML offering more advanced features and more diagram types. Open API for Confluence is an add-on for integrating Confluence with other systems.
The PlantUML Diagram for Confluence add-on requires a separate tool called Graphviz for rendering diagrams.
Graphviz is a graph visualization software that can be downloaded and installed separately from the PlantUML Diagram for Confluence add-on. The add-on uses Graphviz to generate image files from the PlantUML diagrams created in Confluence. Once Graphviz is installed on the same server as Confluence, the PlantUML Diagram add-on can be configured to use it for diagram rendering.
