Mindmap (PlantUML)

PlantUML mind maps use asterisk depth for the right-hand side and minus depth for the left, which is how you get a balanced map rather than everything on one side.

#What this example shows

Asterisks for depth on the right, minus signs on the left.
Underscore to remove the box around a node.
A balanced two-sided layout.

#Making it your own

left side switches the following branches to the other half of the map.
An underscore after the asterisks removes the box, which suits leaf notes.
Keep it to three levels; deeper and it is a document.
