[mapguide-internals] Quotes around halfline and center

[Ben Trumbore]

Zac,

Are you sure it does that?  I checked the style editor code history and the apostrophes have been included since at least mid-2005.  The UI dropdown doesn't show the apostrophes, but it adds them to the layer when you make a selection.

I think the stylization engine is also a bit tolerant of missing apostrophes.  If it fails to obtain a value for what it thinks is a property name, it treats it as a constant string, which in this case has a meaningful value.  Traian can correct me if I'm mistaken.

        Ben

Thanks Ben!

So why does studio 2009 insert them without quotes?
