Unexpected "Actor"

Question

Dears,

I have such a code:

database "DB" {

folder "Table #1" as DBT1

"===="

folder "Table #2" as DBT2

"===="

folder "Table #N" as DBTN

}

 

The result contains unexpected "Actor" and also separators are not displayed.

What is the correct syntax to get DB (database) with some tables separated by the double lines?

 

Best regards,

Seweryn.

Hello H.,

In order to mix "double lines separator" and "folder", You can use embedded diagram or sub-diagram with use of '{{' and '}}':

But pay attention to the fact: what you gain with, you also lose with (because it is an independent sub-diagram [without any link with the hosted diagram]) ; Also You can not use after DBT1, DBT2 or DBTN, there are only accessible on the sub-diagram. 

See more details:

• with “Embed diagrams in notes and other texts” from /7140 which point out: the creation of this feature on /2427.
• with also this comment on /8975 of the generalization and correction on class and deployment diagram.

Then with this feature:

database DB [
DB
--
==
{{
folder "Table #1" as DBT1
}}
==
{{
folder "Table #2" as DBT2
}}
--
{{
folder "Table #N" as DBTN
}}
]

we obtain:

We observe some issue (on v1.2020.10) with the order of the element between the sub-diagram and the different double lines (a dummy line above is necessary to achieve the expected result.): see also this defect /10967.

If that can help,

Th.
