Hi Gerd, please find attached a patch that makes some minor improvements to the documentation. Please review and commit if OK. Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike, thanks for the patch. I am not sure if I like the part for coastlines. I'm not 100% sure but I think the tag natural=coastline is really just removed before the OSM way is processed by the style rules. A way with more than a natural=coastline tag is still processed. That's very different to being "ignored", isn't it?

HI Gerd, Thanks for the quick response. My issue with the existing wording is that it reads as if the input files are actually being modified. I'd be happy with "filtered out" or "are not loaded from the input OSM files". (Just noticed it actually says OSM tiles rather than OSM files in the first mention, so I think that needs changing as well.) Do either of the two suggestions seem better to you?

Hi Mike & Gerd I'd suggest something like: ... When this option is specified the land and sea polygons are derived from the given precompiled data rather than the natural=coastline ways from the input OSM files. ... The coastline ways not removed or modified, leaving it up the style to decide to render then as lines. However --coastlinefile is different and doesn't pass them on Ticker On Sat, 2021-01-02 at 17:43 +0000, Mike Baggaley wrote:

Hi Parts of what I said is not quite correct (I was looking at my modified version of SeaGenerator). The suggested wording for doc/options.txt is ok. However the trunk SeaGenerator.java does manipulate the coastline way but it is still available for rendering by the style. With option --coastlinefile, no manipulation takes place.

Hi Ticker, not sure what to do now. Do you think i should commit Mikes patch without changes?

Hi Gerd I think it is simplest to do that. Then later some of the sea options texts can be reworded if any of us feel strongly about it. Ticker On Mon, 2021-01-04 at 15:30 +0000, Gerd Petermann wrote:
