Short arrows for incoming and outgoing messages

asked Feb 19, 2013 in Wanted features by anonymous

Currently incoming and outgoing mesages arrow in sequence diagramm cross over image from left/right border to target. I think, that good idea to add syntax to allow make this arrows shortly, like:

Bob         Alice                  Sam      

 |----------->|    incoming         |

 |            |    message to Sam   |

 |            |    ---------------->|

Hello,

In V7974, the current syntax has been implemented as beta:

@startuml
[-> Alice : hello
[-> Bob : hello
?-> Bob : h
Alice ->] : a
Alice ->? : a
@enduml

Is this what you are expecting ?
