The old syntax allowed forking across partitions, as in the old conductor example:
@startuml
partition Conductor {
(*) --> "Climbs on Platform"
--> === S1 ===
--> Bows
}
partition Audience LightSkyBlue {
=== S1 === --> Applauds
}
partition Conductor {
Bows --> === S2 ===
--> WavesArmes
Applauds --> === S2 ===
}
partition Orchestra #CCCCEE {
WavesArmes --> Introduction
--> "Play music"
}
@enduml
So far, my attempts all produce an error - Cannot find group. For example:
@startuml
start
partition Conductor {
:Climbs on Platform;
fork
:Bows;
}
partition Audience {
fork again
:Applauds;
partition Conductor {
end fork
:Waves Arms;
}
partition Orchestra {
:Introduction;
:Plays Music;
}
end
@enduml
From my brief dig into the code, it looks like this may be because the parser is expecting to see an end fork statement before the closing brace for the end of the group. Is there any way to do this in the new syntax or is it only possible in the old syntax? Is there a plan to support this type of diagram in the new syntax? you can do something that is syntactically similar using swimlanes, but swimlanes is not always the best way to depict such process flow. Perhaps the partition syntax needs to be modified to use an approach similar to swimlanes in order to support such diagrams?
