Error when rendering A-- This is the text -- B

[npatmaja]

I am experiencing an error while parsing text on link (copy pasted from flowchart basic syntax) using mermaid 0.3.2

A-- This is the text -- B

the error is:

Uncaught Error: Parse error on line 2:
...his is the text -- B
-----------------------^
Expecting 'GRAPH', 'SPACE', 'DIR', 'TAGEND', 'TAGSTART', 'subgraph', 'end', 'MINUS', '--', '==', 'STYLE', 'LINKSTYLE', 'CLASSDEF', 'CLASS', 'CLICK', 'NUM', 'COMMA', 'ALPHA', 'COLON', 'BRKT', 'DOT', 'PLUS', 'EQUALS', 'MULT', got 'EOF'

However, mermaid renders perfectly A---|This is the text|B; syntax.
Is -- This is the text -- no longer supported? if so please change the documentation.

I see the problem. There were no test case for that syntax. Will look at it.

So text can contain -- and it can contain space. So the ending element " --" is hard for the parser to separate from text.

I can see that having things like

count--

in the boxes makes sense.

Right now it works --- as ending. Perhaps thats the way to go or perhaps forbidding -- in text is the best option. I am open for opinions.

[npatmaja]

I think having --- as ending will do as the other lines with text also use three characters as ending, e.g., .-> or ==>.
Another alternative is to have this kind of syntax:

A--|some long text that uses escaped char like `||--B

Please let me know your opinion.

Then think I will update the docs showing the ---as ending!

Cool! thanks. I'll download the latest library :)

I think this one should be closed as of 0.3.3. @npatmaja, I saw your guide for using mermaid with docpad, nice work!
