Hyphen in node id causes syntax error

Question

When i tried to draw some network diagram with nwdiag, it results in Syntax error if i have hyphens in network or node id, such like :

 ```

@startuml

nwdiag {

  network network1 {

    address = "192.0.2.0/16"

    node-1 [address="192.0.2.4"];

    node2 [address="192.0.2.2"];

    node3 [address="192.0.2.3"];

  }

}

@enduml

```

When the hyphens are removed or replaced with underscore, it works.

The problem for me is that the network i am not trying has hyphen/dashes in its network or node names.

Anyone can help me to draw it without changing real-life network/node names ?

Thanks Serge.

Now it works!

Please bear with me for another question but very similar.

What about network id?

I tried to do same thing either for network id.

It doesnt cause error but nothing changed. Is there any good way to include hyphen in network name?

@startuml
nwdiag {

  network network1 {

    address = "192.0.2.0/16"

    description = "network-1"

    node1 [address="192.0.2.4", description = "node-1"];

    node2 [address="192.0.2.2"];

    node3 [address="192.0.2.3"];

  }

}

Thanks again for your response , Serge.

Do i need to change the category of this pose to 'Bug'? or had better to wait for acknowledgement of plantuml team?

(I am not really familiar yet with this community how i should handle issues)
