Hi
I have the following questions regarding the rule expressions:
1. Is the expression key=* also matching with tags created in action blocks of previous rules?
Example (nonsense, but representative): highway=residential { add test=yes; } test=* [0x06 resolution 22] <-- not working
But if test=* is the only expression in the rule, the tag which is
Thanks, that is a bug, the test=* should match. I will look into fixing it.
2. Sometimes i have observed that if the expression key!=value is the only expression in a rule, the rule seems to be ignored by mkgmap (see example above). If i remember correctly, there were some discussions about fixing that behaviour. Is this still relevant/in progress? Please, add any hint to the style-manual.
It should work in other cases. The bug you discovered is a special case where the tag is added when not present in the OSM input file. If you find a case where it doesn't work when it is in the input file, then let me know.
3. Shouldn't style-manual be updated like discussed in http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/pipermail/mkgmap-dev/2010q1/007957.html ?
Thanks, this is now fixed in the doc source. The PDF should update automatically overnight. Best wishes ..Steve
