Yep, that's the plan, have different storage formats for styles. > I imagine cascadenik probably loses comments. Imagine again :) If you want to use Mapnik you have to program in Python, it's not visual like GeoServer, is meant to be used as a library, they give you python bindigs, not a visual config enviroment. So you write the css by hand and point your python script to them. From the mapnik guide, the very first tutorial is: GettingStarted -- 'Hello,world!' using pure Python bindings. (http://trac.mapnik.org/) And from the very home page, "Getting started: 1) download the sources!" When that is your starting point writing a CSS file is a piece of cake. In fact, from a reference on the internet: "Michal Migurski has build a CSS-style equivalent which _compiles_ down to XML, hopefully making it much quicker and easier to get started with Mapnik customisation" http://simonwillison.net/2008/Aug/30/cascadenik/ Cheers Andrea -- Andrea Aime OpenGeo - http://opengeo.org Expert service straight from the developers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Geoserver-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geoserver-devel
