First off, thanks for making such a great product in MapServer. Really enjoying it.
I think I'm having a jargon problem. I can't figure out if the data I have contains labels (for example highway numbers) and how to get MapServer to display them. In the mapfile reference, I expect "label" to refer to the thing I'm looking for, but that seems to refer to text manually inserted in the map file. How do I determine if the names are included in the shapefile data? How do I display the names with MapServer? Thanks!
