<br>
well, I am not an expert for the styles nor did I write the java code<br>
in LinkDestinationHook.java, but I try again:<br>
<br>
The action block of the rule starts with name, so what it does is to set the<br>
mkgmap:label:1 tag. This is explained in the style manual.<br>
The contents of the tags like mkgmap:exit_hint_ref depends on the OSM data<br>
and what the java code in LinkDestinationHook.java does.<br>
If you want to find out what values are passed to the rule and<br>
what the action block changes, use the echotags action:<br>
<span>(highway=motorway_link | highway=trunk_link) & mkgmap:exit_hint=true &<br>
mkgmap:dest_hint=true<br>
</span> { echotags "before";<br>
<span>name '${destination:ref|subst: =>} ${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' |<br>
'${ref|subst: =>} ${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' |<br>
'${destination|subst:;=> |subst:/=> }' |<br>
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' |<br>
</span><span> 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref} ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' |<br>
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_exit_to}' |<br>
'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_name}' |<br>
</span> 'Exit ${mkgmap:exit_hint_ref}' ;<br>
echotags "after"<br>
}<br>
<br>
BTW: You posted a rule which doesn't appear in the default style,<br>
the phrase "highway=road" looks wrong there.<br>
