But can you make a map that's wider but shorter, or taller but thinner than the limits?
ie: "small: 730x500px" "large: 970x670" ?
No, doesn't work that way, sadly.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

- Code: Select all

which looks perfectly correct, based on my reading of the XML 1.0 Specification. However, the Map Inspect portion of the Map Maker tool does not process this properly, and only works if the header is changed to
- Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
(note the lower case encoding name).
I have no problem with the lower case version being accepted, since most naming conventions encourage case insensitivity, but since the XML 1.0 Specification says "UTF-8" should be used, I think if only one form can be supported by the Map Maker tool, then it needs to be this one.
An odd sidenote: the Test XML portion of the Map Maker tool has no problem with the upper case version.
