Description

From @nickidlugash on August 3, 2015 23:46

Currently we can't make use of the way duplex shields in the mapbox streets data are designed to be styled, because we can't use regex as part of values, and we also don't accept \n as a space for line wrapping. Is it feasible to implement the ability to use find/replace and \n?

Research direction

No implementation files or tests are named. Start by reading the linked mapbox-gl-style-spec issue and tracing how style expressions produce text values; done means supporting find-and-replace in values and accepting \n for line wrapping, with coverage for both behaviors.
