A list I compiled of 40+ similar text to diagram tools. https://xosh.org/text-to-diagram/ https://xosh.org/text-to-diagram/ Input in this one is very simple and cool.

Missing Ilograph: https://app.ilograph.com/ https://app.ilograph.com/ It's heavier-duty compared to most of the others you have listed, but should appeal to engineers who want something more robust.

  This is amazing. Basically making architecture diagrams from yaml.

  It's much more sophisticated! It might be very powerful to have some wordsmith support in the authoring of the text, for example, in the org-mode of emacs, especially, the collapse (folding) of sub-trees.

  This needs to be installed and coded with a programming language. This list isn't about drawing with programming languages.

    One main idea that would make your list 3x better: add a code snippet from each one.

      This is a really good idea, thanks. Snippet won't be enough to cover the usages though. Most of these tools use varying syntax for different diagrams. Anyone looking for a specific need can go through the links to find out which one is better. Go through some of them. It's hard to summarize a tools function in a single snippet. Same goes for screenshots. How would you do that?

Is there a way to tell which are downloadable/usable offline/locally vs which are websites without clicking through each one?

  I needed these tools for quick in-browser use so they are mostly online. Only few of them can be used offline.
