subdiagram format does not match diagram

Question

hello, because the subdiagram format does not match diagram, it should replicate the include within the subdiagram, but it does not work either

@startuml
' incluir fichero personalizado de opciones
'-------------------------------------------------
 !include C:\PLANTUML\TemplateDB.puml
    ' =============================================
    ' =============================================
    '               NUEVAS TABLAS
    ' =============================================
    ' =============================================
    Tabla(TABLA1, "TABLITA  <size:14><&external-link></size>") {
        primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
        primary_key(FECHA)         
    }    
    rectangle T_PERSONAS [
        {{

            
            Tabla(TABLA2,"TABLA2") {
                primary_key(FECHA)
                primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
                primary_key(COD_COMPRA)
            }

            Tabla(TABLA3,"TABLA3") {
                primary_key(FECHA)        
                primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
                primary_key(COD_SOLICITUD)
            }
        }}
    ]

    PER_PERSONA_H -- T_PERSONA

You are right that subdiagrams don't inherit style info, you have to re-specify it all in the subdiagram itself.

eg

@startuml !theme spacelab rectangle Example [   Theme spacelab   {{     rectangle Example2 [       no theme     ]   }} ] @enduml	@startuml !theme spacelab rectangle Example [   Theme spacelab   {{     !theme spacelab     rectangle Example2 [       Theme spacelab     ]   }} ] @enduml

I can see your point that you might expect the top level theme to cascade down.  Maybe @Plantuml could add a parameter to enable that.

hello, that part I check and the include does not make me the definition well within the subdiagram

Answer 1

Hello F.,

• What is your issue?
• Where is defined `PER_PERSONA_H` and `T_PERSONA` [in TemplateDB.puml]?

[New update with `!include_many`]

Could you test, with `!include_many` as:

@startuml
 !include_many C:\PLANTUML\TemplateDB.puml
    Tabla(TABLA1, "TABLITA  <size:14><&external-link></size>") {
        primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
        primary_key(FECHA)         
    }
    rectangle T_PERSONAS [
        {{
            !include_many C:\PLANTUML\TemplateDB.puml
            
            Tabla(TABLA2,"TABLA2") {
                primary_key(FECHA)
                primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
                primary_key(COD_COMPRA)
            }

            Tabla(TABLA3,"TABLA3") {
                primary_key(FECHA)        
                primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
                primary_key(COD_SOLICITUD)
            }
        }}
    ]

PER_PERSONA_H -- T_PERSONA

See similar pseudo issue here (not with include, but with sprite)...:

• https://forum.plantuml.net/14963/sprite-in-subdiagram

And see doc. about include here:

• https://plantuml.com/en/preprocessing#393335a6fd28a804

If that can help,
Regards.

Is sub-diagram mandatory?

Could you test, simply, this:

@startuml
 !include_many C:\PLANTUML\TemplateDB.puml
    Tabla(TABLA1, "TABLITA  <size:14><&external-link></size>") {
        primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
        primary_key(FECHA)         
    }
    rectangle T_PERSONAS {
         
            Tabla(TABLA2,"TABLA2") {
                primary_key(FECHA)
                primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
                primary_key(COD_COMPRA)
            }

            Tabla(TABLA3,"TABLA3") {
                primary_key(FECHA)        
                primary_key(COD_PERSONA)
                primary_key(COD_SOLICITUD)
            }
}

PER_PERSONA_H -- T_PERSONA

yes, that's how it works perfectly.

it seems that it does not support well the include within {{ }}

thank you very much for the help
