Thank you very much for your recommendation. I immediately read the documentation for Mermaid after receiving your answer, and I find its styling pleasing and modern. I really appreciate it.

However, when it comes to the Gantt chart, it doesn't seem as intuitive as PlantUML, which is why I mentioned it in my feedback.

It seems that my previous response may have given the wrong impression, suggesting disappointment with your recommendation. This is not the case at all. I actually like Mermaid and am grateful for your recommendation.

I am just beginning to delve into PlantUML and, of course, I am also new to UML as a standard language. As you mentioned, "If you learn it, you won't waste time at all." Thank you.

Yes, thank you. Mermaid is surely rather pleasing and beautiful.

PlantUML's Gantt charts is well-suited for a more natural language and textual representation, for instance:

[reading] starts 2023-10-18 and lasts 10 days.

I assume the read function initially reads the input as a symbol type, and subsequently, during the evaluation process, converts it into the corresponding data type. This two-step process involves reading the input as a symbol and then evaluating it to obtain the appropriate type.

Interesting. It’s intelligent capability to discern and identify numbers, strings, and symbols. What I tried is to feed to minibuffer word string.

`below` and 'from to` read like a natural langugage which make the code more intuitive.
