[OpenLayers-Users] SphericalMercator and SRS aliases epsg:900913, epsg:3857, epsg:3785, epsg:102113

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Anne,

the best way for documentation fixes/additions is to create a patch (svn diff or unified diff) on the rst document (available in svn) and create a Trac ticket with the patch attached. TIA.

Best regards,
Bart
