[Style] Allow multiple style stereotypes for backward element on Activity diagram

[The-Lum]

Hi PlantUML team,

Context

To continue (style on (beta-)Activity diagram):

• https://forum.plantuml.net/16711/style-allow-all-style-for-stereotype-on-activity-diagram
• :backward on repeat loop does not fully support formatting #353
• Activity: Allow post-positioned stereotype style #1422
• Activity: Allow to style SDL stereotype  #1423
• [Style] Allow style for backward element on repeat loop, on Activity diagram #1531

Wanted feature

• Could you also allow multiple style stereotypes for backward element on Activity diagram?

Hello @arnaudroques, and all,

As declared corrected on V1.2023.13 on the Change Log;
It seems that SDL stereotype (<<save>>) is not taken in account?

• Could you have a look?
• Is it necessary to open a new issue?

Regards,
Th.

It seems that SDL stereotype (<<save>>) is not taken in account?

Sorry about that!
We can still use this open ticket/issue. Could you post a short example that shows only this bug?
Thanks!

Could you post a short example that shows only this bug?

Here are minimal examples:

Repeat Loop

@startuml
<style>
.color {
  LineColor blue
  BackgroundColor lightCyan
  LineThickness 2
  ArrowThickness 0.5
  FontName Arial Narrow
  FontColor red
  FontSize 11
  FontStyle regular
}
</style>


title <<save>> SDL + <<color>>
repeat
  :Generate diagrams; <<save>> <<color>>
backward:Log context; <<save>> <<color>>
repeat while (more data?) is (yes)

repeat
  :Generate diagrams; <<save>> <<color>>
backward:Log
context; <<save>> <<color>>
repeat while (more data?) is (yes)

While Loop

@startuml
<style>
.color {
  LineColor blue
  BackgroundColor lightCyan
  LineThickness 2
  ArrowThickness 0.5
  FontName Arial Narrow
  FontColor red
  FontSize 11
  FontStyle regular
}
</style>


title <<save>> SDL + <<color>>
while (check filesize ?) is (not empty)
  :read file; <<save>> <<color>>
  backward:log context; <<save>> <<color>>
endwhile (empty)
:close file;


while (check filesize ?) is (not empty)
  :read file; <<save>> <<color>>
  backward:log
context; <<save>> <<color>>
endwhile (empty)
:close file;

Thanks for the examples!
Last snapshot should fix the backward issue about stereotype.
Tell us if you find others! :-)

[arnaudroques]

This should be fixed now. Please reopen the issue if needed!
