[mkgmap-dev] delete name not working

Fri Apr 25 18:00:49 BST 2014

Hi Franco,

the style manual says about Action block name:
This sets the first label of the element but only if it is not already set.
This is a helper action. The same
effect can be produced with different notations as it is shown in the
following example where all three
lines have the same effect.
{name '${name} (${ref})' | '${ref}' | '${name}'}
{add mkgmap:label:1='${name} (${ref})' | '${ref}' | '${name}'}
mkgmap:label:1!=* {set mkgmap:label:1='${name} (${ref})' | '${ref}' |
'${name}'}

So, if you delete the name tag after using the name action, it has no effect
on the tag mkgmap:label:1.
