Styling documentation via mapnik-reference #25
Comments
@yohanboniface - I'd love your feedback on the above plan. Basically I'm imagining that something like this would really benefit openstreetmap-carto and kosmtik. |
Hehe, I've just created https://github.com/kosmtik/kosmtik-mapnik-reference plugin, to integrate the documentation in Kosmtik ;) A part from that, for sure that's a nice thing to do. :) The better option I can think of right now is to have a About the site itself, I would go for a single page, with drop down or so for choosing the Mapnik version, plus a quick javascript to filter symbolizers and/or rules (or maybe one just hit ctrl-F…). And we'll need anchor for version (dynamic) and rules I think. If needed, I can certainly find some time to work on this in the incoming days/weeks. |
Excellent. That is exactly what it is designed to enable. The more places it is used the better. It definitely makes sense to embed as you need.
Great idea.
💯

We should pull in https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik-reference and use it to auto-generate awesome pages with all the details Mapnik cartographers need for understanding:
This will be similar to the built-in styling docs some people may know from tilemill/mapbox-studio, except that:
mapnik-reference
on github should be provided so it is really really easy for others to provide pull requests with doc improvements.Once this is done, we should remove the wiki pages that have become unmaintainable, hard to read, and out of date like https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/TextSymbolizer.
