Is diagram name an official feature?

When I load a diagram without a name, I see a warning:

Diagram unnamed. Try "@startuml name"

I see nothing in the PlantUML specification about naming diagrams, but I did find an issue (https://github.com/Enteee/plantuml-parser/issues/24) related to the subject, but with no clear conclusion.

Should a warning be generated when a diagram has no name, given that it doesn’t seem to be an official PlantUML feature?

Hello, I was wondering if there was a way to remove those warnings though? or an alternative to use the name of the file rather than the title to name the exports? I removed the titles so I could get the same filename by default when I export, but I am now flooded with these messages, and I cant quite figure out how to ignore them. I could not find an easy way to ignore this specific rule through VSCore but that may be my inexperience

Fair enough, thanks for your thoughts! I agree that it’s a useful feature, I just wish it was documented on plantuml.com somewhere.
