Hi Asle,

That would be some sort of labelling, right? In that case, there's the 
TextSymbolizer you can use in your SLD. You use the Label tag. The Propertyname 
contains the name of the column in your PostGIS database that you want to use 
to label the locations.

<TextSymbolizer>

   <Label>

      <ogc:PropertyName>column_name</ogc:PropertyName>

   </Label>

...
</TextSymbolizer>

More on the TextSymbolizer and Labelling

Regards,

Edward

Subject: [Geoserver-users] How do I make a text layer (text instead of  
markers)?

Hello,I have a geoserver 2.1 running fine with many layers with markers.I want 
to show a layer where the markers are the text from a field in the database 
(Postgis) instead of an icon. How do I do that? Can anyone send me in the right 
direction? Do I use SLD styling? Or do I do this in OpenLayers etc.? Thanks for 
any help to a newbie!
