  24 ;;; Commentary:
  25 ;;
  26 ;; This software provides EMACS org-babel export support for message
  27 ;; sequence charts. The mscgen utility is used for processing the
  28 ;; sequence definition, and must therefore be installed in the system.
  29 ;;
  30 ;; Mscgen is available and documented at
  31 ;; http://www.mcternan.me.uk/mscgen/index.html
  32 ;;
  33 ;; This code is directly inspired by Eric Schulte's ob-dot.el
  34 ;;
  35 ;; Example:
  36 ;;
  37 ;; #+begin_src mscgen :file example.png
  38 ;; msc {
  39 ;;  A,B;
  40 ;;  A -> B [ label = "send message" ];
  41 ;;  A <- B [ label = "get answer" ];
  42 ;; }
  43 ;; #+end_src
  44 ;;
  45 ;; Header for alternative file type:
  46 ;;
  47 ;; #+begin_src mscgen :file ex2.svg :filetype svg
  48
  49 ;; This differs from most standard languages in that
  50 ;;
  51 ;; 1) there is no such thing as a "session" in mscgen
  52 ;; 2) we are generally only going to return results of type "file"
  53 ;; 3) we are adding the "file" and "filetype" header arguments
  54 ;; 4) there are no variables
  55
