New diagrammr feature: boxes in boxes!

One thing I really wanted in diagrammr, given the number of times I’m talking about logical services living inside of physical machines, is the ability to put boxes in boxes. This turned out to be harder than I thought, and as my boss admits, I got overwhelmed by my work at chartbeat (which is awesome, you should use it, I even use it to watch diagrammr), and left it alone for a few months.

When after the recent re-love from Hacker News, I decided to see if I could finish it. I finally found a clear explanation of how to do the one part that was missing, which is supporting edges to or from outer boxes, in the FAQ.

So, now if you type “A is in B”, you will get a box with B containing A. Good times.
