Hi Mike, if I got that right you didn't compile help\options before you created doc-v7.patch. I also have some problems checking your patch because you changed the line endings to windows style (0d0a) instead of unix(0a) I've attached two patches: doc-v7-unix.patch: used your patch with line endings converted to unix and create a new patch. This is much smaller. doc-v8.patch: - two small changes in options.txt + --version writs to stderr, this information is considered important, see http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/websvn/revision.php?repname=mkgmap&rev=2642 + addedd missing "when" - freshly compiled help\options If you agree with these small changes I'll commit the v8. doc-v7-unix.patch <http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/file/t318326/doc-v7-unix.patch> doc-v8.patch <http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/file/t318326/doc-v8.patch> Mike Baggaley wrote
Hi Gerd,
It appears that mkgmap can only display ASCII characters, so although non-ASCII characters are copied faithfully from options.txt to options, mkgmap cannot display them. I have added an ASCII test to the code which displays the line number and offending text, - it transpires there was a non ASCII letter in the example usage of --mdr7-excl=name plus three special hyphens.
For the long lines, I hadn't handled the case where adding two lines together exceeded 160 characters and hence needed chopping twice. Now fixed.
I did wonder about taking out the example file. I have removed this from options.txt and put it in a new file logging.txt and referenced it from index.txt. I've also put it in a logging file for display from the command line with help=logging. It may still look like a stack trace there, but should at least be more expected. I have added a bit more information and a reference to the Java documentation on logging at the end (primarily so you can see something after the 'stacktrace').
How does that seem? Mike doc-v7.patch (200K) <http://gis.19327.n8.nabble.com/attachment/5956414/0/doc-v7.patch>;
