Thie PR adds special shapes for
Special shapes are activated individually by adding
$special=%true()when creating the element, or by setting a global variable!global $ARCH_SPECIAL_SHAPES=%true(). In the latter case, override on individual shapes is done by providing$special=%false().Most of these special shapes allow nesting elements in them, and for those that do not support it, the original shape is used as long as callers use
$nest=%true().This partially fixes #46 , for those ArchiMate shapes that match an existing PlantUML shape.
Additionally, the incorrect use of the literals
trueandfalsehas been corrected to use%true()and%false().
