using <style>, not skinparam, how can I alter the fontproperties of groups in component diagrams?

asked Jul 8, 2021 in Question / help by bklaase (140 points)

Using code:

@startuml
<style>

componentDiagram {
  fontcolor green
  group {
  'font reletated properties don't seem to take
    fontstyle normal
    fontcolor green

  'this property clearly works
    backgroundcolor lightblue
  }
}

</style>

node someGroup {
  component component_a
}
@enduml

preview in online server

I cannot figure out the correct way to alter the font properties of groups.

Hello B.,

It is a bug...

As:

@startuml
<style>
componentDiagram {
  fontcolor green
  group {
  'font reletated properties don't seem to take
    fontstyle normal
    fontcolor green

  'this property clearly works
    backgroundcolor lightblue
  }
  node {
  'font reletated properties don't works for group
    fontstyle normal
    fontcolor green

  'this property don't works for group
    backgroundcolor palegreen
  }
}
</style>

node someGroup {
  component component_a
}
node alone

See similar request here:

https://forum.plantuml.net/14179/style-manage-style-dashed-dotted-nested-element-deployment
See "Nested element (with one level)" on:
- https://plantuml.com/en/deployment-diagram#b3234841348a68e0

→ The main question is: how are manage styles for group or for individual nested shape?
See example:

[See on online server]

Thanks for commenting! On the linked similar request I saw it stated that the behavior is fixed in the beta and online server, but this does not yet seem to be the case (or I am misunderstaning the intended behavior). It still seems impossible to style some properties of the nesting element (a node element in this case).

Hello B.,

You are right.

It ok for 'simple **empty** nested package', but not for 'nested package'
