Syntax tip

Keep Ditaa source deterministic and reusable across environments.

Quick start

Call the ChartQuery API from your Backbone.js stack and return rendered Ditaa output to the UI.

Recommended flow

  1. Store your Ditaa source in code or markdown.
  2. Send source to a server-side endpoint backed by ChartQuery.
  3. Render returned SVG/PNG in Backbone.js pages and docs.

Typical Backbone.js integration path: /server/diagram-renderer
