Hello Daniel,

as Steve pointed out, this is not documented, and when I tried it out 
mapserver complained about a corrupt mapfile:

msLoadMap(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (MAXSIZE):(line 20) <br>

Although, I found in mapfile.c, that the MAXSIZE is printed in saveMap.

Reassigned to myself, I'll have a look now.

[dmorissette]

It seems that MAXSIZE was added only in version 4.1, so I was wrong when I
suggested in my email to the list that it was supported in 4.0 as well.

I'll reassign to JF Doyon to make sure that MAXSIZE is documented in the 4.2
mapfile reference docs. 

[dmorissette]

JF: do you think this could be done for the 4.2 release?  If not can you please
reassign to Jeff.

Reassigned to Jeff

wow, old one.

added maxsize to map object in the mapfile-reference for 4.4 and 4.6, in CVS.

What's the connection from the XML documents in CVS and the Plone site. I fear 
there is none...

Right, I don't think there is any connection between CVS and the plone site. I
think the plone site needs to be updated manually. Someone else from the doc
group could confirm that.

[jmckenna@…]

no connection between cvs docs and plone site.  This will be discussed at the
doc BOF at mum3.
