[OSM-talk] Map rendering

[Mike Ryan]

Hi All

I'm trying to render some maps of my local area, and I followed the notes here:
http://www.use-it.be/europe/docs/OSMmanual/

At the end, it says that you can remove features, by removing the
rules from osm-map-features-z17.xml file. However, when I took out
pubs, for example, they're still there when I render the map. (I'm
trying to generate a simple map with just street names)

Does anyone know where there's a guide to the osm-map-features-z17.xml
file and how it all works?

Cheers

Mike
