Hi Andrzej, well, my problem is the possible misinterpretation caused by ambiguity caused by the if-then interpretation, but I think I have found a possible solution.
Let's look at some rules for boundaries in the default style: v1) boundary=administrative { name '${mkgmap:boundary_name}' } boundary=administrative & admin_level<3 [0x1e resolution 12] boundary=administrative & admin_level<5 [0x1d resolution 19] boundary=administrative & admin_level<7 [0x1c resolution 21] boundary=administrative & admin_level<9 [0x1c resolution 22] boundary=administrative [0x1c resolution 22] We said we want to be able to use if-then like this: v2) if (boundary=administrative ) then { name '${mkgmap:boundary_name}' } admin_level<3 [0x1e resolution 12] admin_level<5 [0x1d resolution 19] admin_level<7 [0x1c resolution 21] admin_level<9 [0x1c resolution 22] [0x1c resolution 22] end With r3838 this did not work, because the each rule needs an expression. Ticker suggested to add a dummy expression like 1=1 so we would write v3) if (boundary=administrative ) then 1=1 { name '${mkgmap:boundary_name}' } admin_level<3 [0x1e resolution 12] admin_level<5 [0x1d resolution 19] admin_level<7 [0x1c resolution 21] admin_level<9 [0x1c resolution 22] 1=1 [0x1c resolution 22] end but this is also not working as 1=1 is interpreted as $1='1' instead of "true" Now I noticed that the scanner allows to use () as an empty expression. So instead of v1 one already can write v4) if (boundary=administrative ) then () { name '${mkgmap:boundary_name}' } admin_level<3 [0x1e resolution 12] admin_level<5 [0x1d resolution 19] admin_level<7 [0x1c resolution 21] admin_level<9 [0x1c resolution 22] () [0x1c resolution 22] end If we document this we no longer have a problem with the "one expression two objects" syntax like this: a=b [0xc ... resolution 24][0x10801 resolution 24] because we still say that a rule must start with an expression and mkgmap can automaticalyl add "continue" or "continue with_actions" for all but the last type defintion. If you don't like the () 'trick' I can again try to make a style function like true() work.

I just would like to create multiple map objects with single rule. I didn't put "continue" there, because I assumed, that all element type definition should be processed. Still "continue" could be applied, it would mean, that OSM object is processed further, possibly resulting in 3-rd map object or more. I think "continue" or "continue with_actions" could be added to last type definition. Any other more complicated rules, like adding actions after first type definition, could be written just like now, with multiple statements. While I appreciate more flexibility I'm afraid, it could clutter the style. -- Best regards, Andrzej _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev _______________________________________________ mkgmap-dev mailing list mkgmap-dev@lists.mkgmap.org.uk http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/mkgmap-dev
