nested tags fail

Question

If you nest tags, for example <color:red>red<color:blue>blue</color>red</color>, this will not work.

Could this be fixed? Here is the example:

And, if yes, can it be hot-fixed in a version prior to PreprocessorV2 too?

Answer 1

Why not close the tags before opening a new one? like:

@startuml
!nested_tags = "<color:red>red</color><color:blue>blue</color><color:red>red</color>"
title nested_tags
@enduml

Comments

Because you are not always able to control it. For instance if one variable with tags contains another one with tags. Again, the question is not about workaround, but about the bug with nesting tags
