[mkgmap-dev] documentation improvement patch

Fri Feb 22 11:20:37 GMT 2019

Hi Mike,

I'd also prefer to have only one source for both files. Note that resources\help\en\options is not only documentation,
it is also parsed by mkgmap to build a list of known options.
I have no idea about the tools which are used, see scripts\options_to_doc.py for details.

Gerd

Hi Gerd, I think you are right. I must have stopped and left it at the point
where I needed the logging configuration details. Please find attached an
updated patch.

Note I am not quite clear of the symbols used to format the documentation
(or why we need to manually generate two almost identical copies instead of
deriving one from the other). Can you point me to web pages that describe
the two formats?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike,

sorry for the late response. I like most of the patch but the introdution
stops with
"The configuration contains lines in the form"

I guess that was the reason why you didn't post it in the past. Maybe just
like to the wiki page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Mkgmap/dev ?

Hi Gerd, I have attached a patch to improve the documentation of the command
line. I did it some time ago and had forgotten about it, but the discussion
on whether to change default options prompted me to come back to it. The
change is purely to the documentation, no code changes.

Please review and if it meets with your approval, commit.

Thanks,
Mike
