Diagram options can be set as well.

Example for BlockDiag:

```kroki-blockdiag no-transparency=false
blockdiag {
  blockdiag -> generates -> "block-diagrams";
  blockdiag -> is -> "very easy!";

  blockdiag [color = "greenyellow"];
  "block-diagrams" [color = "pink"];
  "very easy!" [color = "orange"];
}
```

You can render diagram from file with @from_file: directive:

```kroki-bpmn
@from_file:path/to/diagram.bpmn
```
