Then the author says the source - &lt;a href=&quot;http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/&lt;/a&gt; !!&lt;p&gt;Now - does anyone know how we can create those diagrams from state flows? e.g.&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;    a -&amp;#62; b;
    a -&amp;#62; c;
    c -&amp;#62; b;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
becomes&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre&gt;&lt;code&gt;   /---\   /---\
   | b |&amp;#60;--| c |
   \---/   \---/
     ^       ^
     | /---\ |
     +-| a |-+
       \---/
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;
I remember there being a perl library for it. Are there any other nice authoring mechanisms that don&apos;t involve intricate text crafting?</text></comment>
