Hi Felix,

  
could you explain a bit more how they work?
    

Simply, the contents of those "ref" like names are all concatenated
together with ";" between them and then the first 4 names in that list
are used as the labels for the way. If the way also has a "name" then
that will be the first label and you will only get 3 labels from the
"ref" list. Also, if display_name is assigned, that goes in front of
the refs. For example, if X=Y represents a tag called X having the
value Y:

name="foo"
display_name="bah"
ref="A123"
int_ref="E99"

would produce these labels:

"foo" "bah" "A123" "E99"

You could also have:

name="foo"
display_name="bah"
ref="A123;E99"

and the end result would be the same.
okay, thanks for the clarification. In this case it would be great if the "|"  could be used for display_name, ref, int_ref, nat_ref too! (or maybe even better for all add / set actions ) and additionally a command to append  would be great too.
At least that clarification makes it a lot easier for route names now for me. Instead of having the line

set route_name='${name}'; set ref='${ref}'

I will now simply use

set int_ref='${name};${ref}|highway-symbol:hbox:6:4}'

And will not be forced to fiddle around with how I append route_name to name in the general style-file.




As last question - what happens if there are more than 4 labels - are label 5 and onwards simply dropped?
Very simple.

Mark
