Display both name and house number for houses that have both

[matthijsmelissen]

The Mapnik rendering layer should display both the name and the housenumber of buildings. Right now, the housenumber suppresses the display of the name. I think a smaller font than is usual for the name label would be appropriate.

• Do we want this?
• If so, is there any way to accomplish this?

It would be nice, but I'm not sure there's a way to do it without either hopelessly cluttering the map or having most of them not render due to conflicts between each other.

With a little SQL conditional it should be well possible, you can append the house number after the name and a linebreak I guess. I don't remember what method there was available in mapnik (if any) to change the font and font size midway through a label.

Looks like https://github.com/mapnik/mapnik/wiki/TextSymbolizer#formats example does just that, there may be no need for additional SQL.

If we want to do this SQL has the advantage that it would allow the housenumber and housename layers to be combined, and the disadvantage that we can't style it any differently.

We have addr:housename, addr:housenumber and name. We should not confuse them :-)
This issue was about addr:housenumber and name.
There is a JOSM Style that renderes both separated with a |. So a Walmart with Housenumber 4 is displayed as 4|Walmart
Osmand renders Wallmart (4) in this case. Which is a little bit confusing, too.
