## Attachments and Instances
_new_
In CSS, a certain object can only have one instance of a property. A `<div>` has a specific border width and color, rules that match better than others (#id instead of .class) override previous definitions. `carto.js` acts the same way normally for the sake of familiarity and organization, but Mapnik itself is more powerful.

Layers in Mapnik can have multiple [borders](http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/LineSymbolizer) and multiple copies of other attributes. This ability is useful in drawing line outlines, like in the case of road borders or 'glow' effects around coasts. `carto.js` makes this accessible by allowing attachments to styles:

Attachments are optional: if you don't define them, carto.js does overriding of styles just like Cascadenik.

This brings us to another _incompatibility_: `line-inline` and `line-outline` have been removed from the language, because attachments are capable of the same trick.

## Rasters and Buildings

Rasters are supported in carto.js - it knows how to download `.vrt`, `.tiff`, and soon other raster formats, and the properties of the [RasterSymbolizer](http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/RasterSymbolizer) are exposed in the language.

The [BuildingSymbolizer](http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/BuildingSymbolizer) is also supported in `carto.js`. The code stores symbolizer types and properties in a JSON file (in `tree/reference.json`), so new Mapnik features can be quickly implemented here.

By defining multiple fonts in a `text-face-name` definition, you create [FontSets](http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/FontSet) in `carto.js`. These are useful for supporting multiple character sets and fallback fonts for distributed styles.
