labeling with SLDs in MapServer

[Eijnden, B. van den (Bart)]

Laura,

this works for us (Name is the layer name, Label is the column name):

<StyledLayerDescriptor version='1.0.0'>
  <NamedLayer>
    <Name>NL-prov</Name>
      <UserStyle>
        <FeatureTypeStyle>
          <Rule>
            <TextSymbolizer>
              <Label>OMSCHR</Label>
              <Font>
                <CssParameter name='font-color'>#000000</CssParameter>
                <CssParameter name='font-family'>arial</CssParameter>
                <CssParameter name='font-size'>10</CssParameter>
              </Font>
            </TextSymbolizer>
          </Rule>
        </FeatureTypeStyle>
      </UserStyle>
    </NamedLayer>
</StyledLayerDescriptor>

Best regards,
Bart

Hi Laura,

we use this functionality quite often, but I don't have access to the 
intranet Wiki here so I cannot paste an example.

I'll try to do that on Monday.

Best regards,
Bart
