Not increment message when hidden

Question

Hello,

The hidden messages should not be considered by the autonumber functionnaility. In my case, I am using them to end a lifeline at specific point of my sequence diagram.

Example:

@startuml
autonumber
Alice -> Bob: Authentication Request
Bob --> Alice: Authentication Response
Alice -[hidden]> Bob: Another authentication Request
Alice <-- Bob: Another authentication Response
note over Bob: Should be 3 instead of 4

Hello,

You can use autonumber stop and resume:
