Hello all,

I'm new to Dia and wanted to use it in combination with the Concordion 
test framework.
To those who are unfamiliar with Concordion, it's primarily used to 
write testable specifications. This is done by surrounding text with 
special HTML tags that execute a test and then colors the text red or 
green and so shows if the test passed or failed.
Because often text is not always clearly laid out and graphics are 
sometimes easier to understand, my idea was to create UML diagrams with 
Dia and then export it to SVG, so that a Concordion plugin can use the 
single parts as test fragments, for example a transition from one state 
to another.
My problem now is, that the generated SVG is pretty nice, but there's no 
possibility to give the UML elements identifiers that themselves become 
id attributes of the generated SVG group tags. That'd allow me to simply 
put the results of the tests in a CSS that color the UML elements by 
naming them like the element identifiers.
Since my C(++) skills are not very good I'd love to see someone 
implement that feature in Dia!
Regards

Max
