EBNF Special border enhancement

Question

EBNF special borders are not very visually distinct from literals:

I think if we use the dashed version of the UStroke for one but not both rectangles... new UStroke(1.0,1.0,1.0)??, we would have something easy to understand at a glance... the numbers might need tweaked a bit... open to anything that makes the types of the components in the above diagram distinct from each other "from a distance".

Answer 1

Ok, we've slightly change it in last online version.

Sounds better?

YES... play with the numbers to make special and litteral look differant... I think a space of 5 maybe?

The dots are there... just hard to see

OMG I know what it needs to be... use the same settings for other dotted lines (for example class relations).

Here is what the lines should look like:

So yet another version :-)

Good enough for now...

I think the double line with 1 solid, and that would be better... closing this one though.
