Due to indentation issues (code within numbered list needs at least 8 spaces instead of 4) the code would not appear as code but as plain text without a fixed size font and also without newlines appearing in the HTML.

Nominatim
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Nominatim (from the Latin, 'by name') is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data
|
|
by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of
|
|
OSM points (reverse geocoding). An instance with up-to-date data can be found
|
|
at http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org. Nominatim is also used as one of the
|
|
sources for the Search box on the OpenStreetMap home page and powers the search
|
|
on the MapQuest Open Initiative websites.
|
|
|
|
