When tagging some districts in Warsaw, I noticed that there's a hierarchy of districts and sub-districts with up to 3 or 4 levels, although probably some of the names I marked are unofficial. I first assumed that the combination of name= together with is_in= would be enough for the renderer to understand the hierarchy and use bigger labels for the areas that have more (levels of) sub-areas in them, and smaller labels for those that are deeper in the structure, i.e. have more elements in the is_in= list. It wasn't the case but I'm leaving it this way because the is_in= value carries enough information to reflect the hierachy fine. (With place=suburb, name=Someplace and is_in=Someplace0,Somplace1,...,Thecity,Thecountry) Cheers _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
