Splitting up activity diagrams is sper useful and it stops them getting to large and you try to keep the same level of abstraction all the time. Please include it.

Hello O.,

You can currently use sub-diagram, `{{` and `}}`, as:

@startuml
start
:Choose Menu;
repeat 
:Choose menu item;
repeatwhile 
:Confirm Order;
note right
  {{
  start
  :Provide payment
  details;
  :Provide shipment
  details;
  stop
  }}
end note
stop
@enduml

If that can help,
Regards,
Th.

That is quite nice, but does not quite fit the bill as I often need many sub levels and this just would not work for that.
