Documentation as Code for Cloud Using PlantUML

One of the coolest things about plantuml is the generated PNG actually contains the source code for the image as metadata. If someone gives you an image, they don't also need to send you the source because you can extract it using the plantuml CLI.

draw.io also supports this for .png and .html, so you can just import and continue editing it

Coworkers always accuse me of tomfoolery when I tell them it's already in there

I wonder if the Copy As Image also does this. I will check.
