Extra hints

Known issues
List of plantUml rendering issues that cannot be solved because not related to this plugin but to the official server.
Rendering of math formulas
Code: #3
Problem: Latex math formulas cannot be rendered as svg images
Example:
@startuml
skinparam handwritten true
:<math>int_0^1f(x)dx</math>;
:<math>x^2+y_1+z_12^34</math>;
note right
Try also
<math>d/dxf(x)=lim_(h->0)(f(x+h)-f(x))/h</math>
<latex>P(y|\mathbf{x}) \mbox{ or } f(\mathbf{x})+\epsilon</latex>
end note
@enduml
Workaround: Modify in the plugin options the rendering mode to Raster image (png)
