Marko (mainly), How does the sub styles idea work.? In commit 1209, where is the sub-styles? at \examples\styles I can see the default and noname styles. In the info file of the default style I can see base-style=contours_ft base-style=location base-style=waters Is this the sub-styles that will be included in the default style? Where are these sub-styles though? Suppose an included base-style treats an element a certain way, will the main style (default in this case) then ignore this element? So the base-style treatment overrides the main style? Will a continue statement in the base style then reverse this, so that the main style treatment will prevail? Then, in the case of 3 sub styles, if they all have actions for the same element: the first style will be used, and the rest ignored unless a continue statement is used in the previous style? A continue statement will have no effect if the previous sub style did not have a continue statement? Or should conflicting rules be avoided? Argh, I hope someone understand what I mean? I don't use the default style, but a style based on the default with a couple of tweaks for custom points & lines etc. Still I like to keep updating regularly to benefit from Marko's improvement in the style. So I copy my tweaks into the latest default styles manually. The sub style idea might make my manual operation unnecessary, if I can just include my own style into the default. Before any other included styles, if I understand it correctly. Bennie
