[mkgmap-dev] Remove accentiuation

Thu Mar 2 09:16:30 GMT 2023

Hi Karl,

sorry, I have no idea what you try to do. My understanding so far was that the apostrophe is added by transliteration which happens after style processing.
Please give us an OSM object that contains the name with the problematic characters.

I don't think that you can remove a single apostrophe with the subst statement, the current implementation doesn't seem to allow this special character.

Gerd

Hi.
For some reason it seems i am not able to perform this type of change in the
finalize section.

I get:
Error in style: Error: (points:427): Unrecognised command '='

The lines in points finalize style looks like:

name=* {name '${name}'}
# next line to remove ' from names.
name=* {set name='${name|subst:"'=>"}'}
include 'inc/address';

Is this how it is supposed to look?

Regards
Karl
