Inserting a plantuml code as an argument of a function

Question

Hi Plantuml team!

 

why this works:

 

@startuml

 

!define a(code) code

 

!definelong myXtraCode

a->b:hello

activate b

b->a:hello too

deactivate b

note right

test

end note

!enddefinelong

 

a(myXtraCode)

 

@enduml

 

but this - does not:

@startuml

 

!definelong a(extraCode)

a->b: some extra message

extraCode

b->a: some extra reply

!enddefinelong

 

!definelong myXtraCode

a->b:hello

activate b

b->a:hello too

deactivate b

note right

test

end note

!enddefinelong

 

a(myXtraCode)

Thanks for the feedback!

We are currently working on the preprocessor, so some slight changes may occur...

This has been fixed in last beta
