Hello S.,

You can use embedded diagram or sub-diagram with use of '{{' and '}}':

See more details: with “Embed diagrams in notes and other texts” from /7140 which point out: the creation of this feature on /2427.

start
:something;
:...;
:<u><i>here is a state diagram on a activity diagram
{{
Run  : Character is running
Walk : Character is walking
Jump : Character is Jumping
[*] --> Run
[*] --> Walk
[*] --> Jump
}}
;
:...;
stop

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.
