Thanks for the help but the echotags directive does not work for me the way
you have it. I've tried everything I can think of to make it go. Spaces
before and after, semicolon or no semicolon, braces or no braces - I get
nothing in my stderr file.
I tried to use echotags in a simplified rule just to make sure I was
writing the output to the correct file. It appears to be a very fussy
command...
this works
(highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link) { echotags "motorway or
trunk link seen" }
but this does not
(highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link) { echotags }
nor does this
(highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link) {echotags}
According to the style manual, all those statements should produce output.
However, the style manual isn't very informative unfortunately.
Your suggestion
(highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link) & mkgmap:exit_hint=true &
mkgmap:dest_hint=true
{ echotags "before";
name '${destination:ref|subst: =>} ${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' |
'${ref|subst: =>} ${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' |
'${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' |
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' |
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' |
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' |
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' |
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref}' ;
echotags "after"
}
produced nothing at all. I know there must be a way to debug these blasted
rules but the echotags and echo command don't seem to work all that well.
