# Usage
You can either tell `puml-mode` to autocomplete the word before the cursor by typing `M-x puml-complete-symbol`. This will open a popup with all the available completions as found in the list of keywords given by running PlantUML with the `-language` flag.

Troubleshooting
===============
## Integration with `org-mode`
You can use `puml-mode` to edit PlantUML source snippets within an [`org-mode`](http://orgmode.org/) document. To do so, you need to first register it with the `plantuml` language:
```
(add-to-list
'org-src-lang-modes '("plantuml" . puml))
```
Then you can edit a `plantuml` code block with `puml-mode` by hitting `C-'` while inside of the code block itself:
```elisp
#+BEGIN_SRC plantuml
<hit C-' here to open a puml-mode buffer>
#+END_SRC
```
When in the `puml-mode` buffer you can then hit again `C-'` to return to the original `org-mode` document.
# Troubleshooting
As of `v0.6.2` the following commands have been added to help resolving problems:

This project stemmed from the great work of [Zhang Weize](http://zhangweize.wordpress.com/2010/09/20/update-plantuml-mode/),
and the current code still borrows a lot from it.
Thanks to [Pavel G. Koukoushkin](https://github.com/svargellin) for implementing the preview functionality.
