| | 184 | == Tag checker rules ==#TagCheckerRules |
| | 185 | This tab consists of two list and some buttons. On the left side all available rules are listed and on the right side all downloaded and local rules. |
| | 186 | |
| | 187 | === Available rules (left) === |
| | 188 | There is a search text box on top and below first the internal MapCSS rules and then the [wikitr:/Rules external ones] are listed. Some more info about each item will be displayed in a tooltip when hovering the mouse over it. Items which are already on the ''Active rules'' list on the right side are highlighted with a different background color which changes if the item is enabled/disabled on the right side. To get items from the left to the right, select them and use the [[JOSMImage(preferences/activate-right)]] blue, right arrow head button between the lists. With the [[JOSMImage(dialogs/refresh)]] button at the bottom reloads the ''available rules'' list from JOSM ([/rules file]). |
| | 189 | |
| | 190 | === Active rules (right) === |
| | 191 | Rules can be enabled/disable with the check box in front of each entry. \\ |
| | 192 | The three buttons on the right allow to: |
| | 193 | * [[JOSMImage(dialogs/add)]] manually add rules from url or local file |
| | 194 | * [[JOSMImage(dialogs/edit)]] modify selected entry |
| | 195 | * [[JOSMImage(dialogs/delete)]] delete items from the list |
| | 196 | The [[JOSMImage(preferences/reset,link=,24,middle)]] reset button at the bottom resets the ''active rules'' to default, removing any manually added entry. |
