great ! and can you make some parts of text to be bold or italics, 
etc ?

view layout [text italic "italic text" text bold "bold text"]

there is limited freedom in VID for that in that each face must have 
one style, so if you want to render large chunks of formatted text, 
it may be a bit slow. this is solved in REBOL 3.

To make to look good with italic and bold text in the middle, you 
can use the function SIZE-TEXT to get the layout sizes.

Geomol: so I've to study VID this week, but R3 seems so nice compared 
to R2 on this point.

Yes, it takes some more work to do it in R2.

But still, compared with other languages, it's probably easy enough.

I'm going to bed. Night! And happy coding! :-)

in R3, the DOC style is a miniaturized makedoc.

night

good night Geomol, I follow you !

Good night Henrik, see you

incorporating webkit into rebol would certanly open whole new window 
of possibilites .. (but at this point it would also distract focus)

K: If I could write the ALA article again, I would do it differently 
- even if the underlying principle endures.

G: there was at least one View-based browser/HTML viewer, but it 
was one of FrankS's disappearing FX5 scripts.

I also give it a try. Not really a browser, just an HTML renderer 
with view/draw.

But rendering HTML is a very complex thing to do, especially the 
layout, tables...
So it is only able to render texte styles.

In the long run, it's probably better to adopt something like webkit. 
Creating a good HTML rendering engine is a monstrous task, but I 
would like to see an extension of the DOC style for good document 
reading.

I fully agree wiht Henrik

Yeah, DOC style is a good start.

But there are already great things with R2 : remembering HyperNotes 
(In R2 Desktop, rebol.com, Contest) this is a Makedoc based and rendering 
is just fine, with links and so on !!

It could be a good base for a remote Wiki editor. Just add an HTML 
generator to convert to static pages tree.

Hi !

How could I run a Rebol script from the command line (without using 
Rebol's own console). 

I've tried typing : "rebview.ewe myfile.r" (idem with rebcore) form 
a windows console, but the output disappear instantaneously.

You want output to windows console? I am not sure it is possible 
with rebol console. It is possible with R3 though. If you want to 
stop your script, just add "halt" command at the end of your script, 
it will not close the console ...

(I'm running under Windows 7)

Maybe I just don't understand, what you're trying to achieve ...

also - type >> usage in rebol console to see possible options ...

Pekr: yes, I want to output to the console.

But thanks, "halt" solved my problems as I can now launch my script 
from my editor and watch the Rebol's console output.

I am not sure if you can run rebol script in "real" console on windos, 
but on linux you can

I mean , I didn't see that options on windows

Janko: it seems to me that it's not possible.

Can someone help ? I want to know why my second title is not recognized 
: http://clojurepastebin.appspot.com/1007

Looks like the rest of the text is handled like one big paragraph.

Henrik: sure, but  why ?

I would guess you want a paragraph to be parsed until two newlines 
occur?

Exactly! Also, running this snippet in R3 does not bring the same 
result.

I would not trust R3's parse for now. It's buggy and changing.

ok, and for my paragraphs ?

I suggest you take a look at the makedoc parser. it does exactly 
that. I'm not sure how to solve that problem.

Ok, thanks for the tip.

kib, you write:

title: [ 1 6 "=" copy title to newline ]


In that, you use the word title for two things, so you destroy your 
intention. Change one of them to another word (remember to do it 
again further down your code).

Geomol: my fault, thanks a lot! I didn't notice I've used "title" 
for 2 different purpose. Changing the variable name solved the issue.

:-) You're welcome!

I really enjoy playing with Rebol

Me 2!

I mean I never saw something so 1/ simple and 2/ powerful

You might wanna use TRIM with your titles.

Neither did all of us here. That's why we use REBOL.

Ok, I just checked TRIM : that's useful.

I've somewhat modified the TextMate bundle for REBOL for e TextEditor, 
and made a new theme for it : http://tinyurl.com/dxt89p. I someone 
is interested, let me now.
