Cannot use monospace font in state name

Question

Hi,

I want to format state name in state diagram to be monospace, but it conflicts with state diagram syntax.

@startuml
state """State Name""" as S1
[*] --> S1
@enduml

Results in syntax error:

Is there any other way to do monospace in state name?

Hello A.,

You can use those workarounds:

---

1. Globally change the defaultFontName for all text

skinparam defaultFontName monospaced
state "State Name" as S1

[See on PlantUML server]

---

2. Locally change font for specific text

state "<font:courier>State Name with Text on courier font" as S1
state "State Name 2 with <font:monospaced>Text on monospaced font" as S2

[See on PlantUML server]

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.
