Can a participant name have a hyphen?

Question

Hi.
Have tried this:

@startuml
participant OT as ot
participant core-ot as coreot
database Redis as Redis
ot -> coreot
@enduml

And this error is shown:
Error line 3 in file: test.puml
Some diagram description contains errors

Is there a way to get the hyphen in the name?
Best Regards.

Hello T.,

Yes, put the participant on double quote, as:

@startuml
participant OT as ot
participant "core-ot" as coreot
database Redis as Redis
ot -> coreot
@enduml

If that can help,
Regards.
