        Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
        John-->>Alice: Great!

The participants can be defined implicitly as in the first example on this page. The participants or actors are rendered in order of appearance in the diagram source text. Sometimes you might want to show the participants in a different order than how they appear in the first message. It is possible to specify the actor’s order of appearance by doing the following:Messages[Actor][Arrow]Actor:Message textMessages can be of two displayed either solid or with a dotted line. There are six types of arrows currently supported:->which will render a solid line without arrow

Alice->John: Hello John, how are you?

–>which will render a dotted line without arrow

Alice-->John: Hello John, how are you?

->>which will render a solid line with arrowhead

Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?

–>>which will render a dotted line with arrowhead

Alice-->>John: Hello John, how are you?

-xwhich will render a solid line with a cross at the end (async)

Alice-xJohn: Hello John, how are you?

–xwhich will render a dotted line with a cross at the end (async)

Alice--xJohn: Hello John, how are you?
