# PlantUML Diagrams

You can create PlantUML diagrams easily in your slides, for example:

````md
```plantuml
@startuml
Alice -> Bob : Hello!
@enduml
```
````

The source code will be sent to https://www.plantuml.com/plantuml to render the diagram by default. You can also set up your own server by setting the `plantUmlServer` in the [Slidev configuration](../custom/index#headmatter).

Visit the [PlantUML Website](https://plantuml.com/) for more information.
