Allow not significant space or indentation (on the beginning of the lines) on mindmap diagram

Question

Hello PlantUML team,

• Could you allow not significant space or indentation (on the beginning of the lines) on mindmap diagram?

Example:

@startmindmap
* r
** d1
 ** d2
@endmindmap

[See on PlantUML server]

Or:

@startmindmap
 * r
 ** d1
 ** d2
@endmindmap

[See on PlantUML server]

Or with 'Markdown syntax':

@startmindmap
 * r
  * d1
  * d2
@endmindmap

[See...]

Thanks for your support and improvement,
Regards,
Th.

Hello PlantUML team,

In fact, the main goal is to indent preprocessing code without incident:

• With indentation, that is currently KO

@startmindmap
* root
!$arg=2
!while $arg!=0
  !$i=3
  ** $arg
  !while $i != 0
    *** $arg.$i
    !$i = $i - 1
  !endwhile
  !$arg = $arg - 1
!endwhile
@endmindmap

• Without indentation, that is OK

@startmindmap
* root
!$arg=2
!while $arg!=0
  !$i=3
** $arg
  !while $i != 0
*** $arg.$i
    !$i = $i - 1
  !endwhile
  !$arg = $arg - 1
!endwhile
@endmindmap

Thanks for the feedback.

We have fixed this issue in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar and on the online server.

Thanks,... but

• Could you allow not significant space or indentation for the root node also?

Here is an example:

• With indentation, that is currently KO

@startmindmap
!procedure $foo($arg)
  * root
  !while $arg!=0
    !$i=3
    ** $arg
    !while $i!=0
      *** $arg.$i
      !$i = $i - 1
    !endwhile
    !$arg = $arg - 1
  !endwhile
!endprocedure

$foo(2)
@endmindmap

• Without indentation, that is OK 

@startmindmap
!procedure $foo($arg)
* root
  !while $arg!=0
    !$i=3
    ** $arg
    !while $i!=0
      *** $arg.$i
      !$i = $i - 1
    !endwhile
    !$arg = $arg - 1
  !endwhile
!endprocedure

$foo(2)
@endmindmap

Thanks for the feedback.

The issue on first node should be fixed in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

Hello PlantUML team,

From PlantUML change (V1.2020.20) it seems that is corrected; but we observe always the issue:

• Here are some minimal example:

---

1/ minimal example:

@startmindmap
  * first node
@endmindmap

[See on PlantUML server]

---

2/ with procedure:

@startmindmap
!procedure $foo($arg)
  * $arg
!endprocedure

$foo("this is the root")

footer Observed on v1.2020.20\n(current version: %version())
@endmindmap

[See on PlantUML server]

• What is your correction for issue on root or first node?

Thank for your support,

Sorry, it was not completely corrected.

You have to use newly beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

We have also updated the online server.

Thanks !

That is now perfect.
Thank a lot.
