<br><br></div>It doesn't actually say anywhere that name_direction is deprecated, however the current docs do say to use osmarender:nameDirection. I guess there was a lot of new stuff in Osmarender 3.0 and I forgot to mention it anywhere.

<br>the new in the database? (Obviously not appropriate always, but here I think<br>it is). Much better solution by the way, I just wish it was easier to find<br>these things out.</blockquote><div><br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
