Just a comment on the behaviour of ‘map-comment’, and perhaps a request to make it more consistent…

I have, for example, three layout files, one of them contains the following instructions, and it calls the two layouts, each of which is in it’s own file and contains only a map-comment in it.

  map-comment "Preliminary Release October 2008...\      # line 1

              <br><br>EXPLORATION NOTES:" 

  copy LayoutGreenlinkAnnotation                                   # line 2

  copy LayoutSwissM_Annotation                                    # line 3

Now as I requested some time back, the output pdf contains a concatenation of the three map comments.

If I change the order of the last two lines, the output order changes.  So far, so good.

If I place line 1 at the end (or anywhere else), it’s contents remain at the start of the concatenation.

If I have multiple map-comment lines in any one layout, only the last map-comment is retained. (The original behaviour I believe)

So two issues;

1. The order of the components is only partially controllable.
2. The concatenation (as opposed to replacement) modification has only partly being implemented.

Is it possible to remedy these without messing up the processing a whole lot of (other peoples) maps?
