[mkgmap-dev] if-then-else in style and style options

Wed Mar 8 08:34:25 GMT 2017

It would not work because 1=1 is interpreted as
$1='1'
and that will probably not be true.
Same effect with '1' = '1' .

Maybe we can add a style function "true()" which always retrurns true for this?

Hi

I think you should document that you need a dummy condition, ie

if (...) then
  1=1 {action}
  ...
  1=1 [0x1c ...]
end

(I assume this should work OK)
