Asle,
Check out the MinScaleDenominator and MaxScaleDenominator tags:
http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/styling/sld-cookbook/points.html#zoom-based-point
Also, you want to build in some priority: labelling bigger cities with a higher
priority than labelling smaller hamlets. That's where the Priority tags helps
out:

Edward

Hi Edward,Thanks for helping out!I read the GeoServer docs link you pointed
out. But I wonder how do I get some text labels to show only when zoomed in to
a certain zoom level. I would not want the street names of a city to show when
I view the whole country but when I have zoomed in to street level I want to
show the street names. That must be possible but how?
Thanks.~asle

Hi Asle,
That would be some sort of labelling, right? In that case, there's the
TextSymbolizer you can use in your SLD. You use the Label tag. The Propertyname
contains the name of the column in your PostGIS database that you want to use
to label the locations.
<TextSymbolizer>
<Label>
<ogc:PropertyName>column_name</ogc:PropertyName>
</Label>
...
</TextSymbolizer>
More on the TextSymbolizer and Labelling

Subject: [Geoserver-users] How do I make a text layer (text instead of

Hello,I have a geoserver 2.1 running fine with many layers with markers.I want
to show a layer where the markers are the text from a field in the database
(Postgis) instead of an icon. How do I do that? Can anyone send me in the right
direction? Do I use SLD styling? Or do I do this in OpenLayers etc.? Thanks for
any help to a newbie!
