Ability to reference nodes by internal id instead of name #83

Closed dattosma closed 5 years ago

dattosma commented 5 years ago

Hello,

This is not a bug, but more a generic question or enhancement...

I would like to display multiple nodes that have the same name (and differentiate them with styling only). Is there a way to use some internal ID that will not appear in the diagram ?

Thanks, Datto

Hi!

There are no internal ID:s that can be used and the design goal has always been to have as little "syntax" as possible. I don't want the definition code to look like a programming language but should more look like an ascii drawing of the end result. (it is pretty far from that of course, but that was the design direction at least.)

Ok thanks. I will continue to add "stuff" to my names to make them unique.
