[REBOL] [UPDATE] Standard Message Function Library
From: rchristiansen:pop:isdfa:sei-it at: 9-Jan-2001 17:25
The Standard Message Function Library took a great leap forward
today, moving from version 0.1.2 to version 0.2.1. Besides a few bug
fixes, the library now includes the 'create-message and 'get-
messages-for-display functions (see usage for these functions below.)
As always, I appreciate any and all input on this effort.

You can read about the Standard Message Function Library here:

A new usage section for the library has been added here:

And the code for the library is here:
http://www.dangeroustechnology.com/standard-message-function-library.txt
Here is a synopsis of today's changes:
0.2.1 [9-Jan-2001 "Corrected target 'word in 'write-xml-message.
Added 'create-message object! functions. Corrected 'display-markup
to output string! datatype instead of block! datatype. Negated use of
'message-request-data target variable in 'read-directory-messages.
Added 'get-messages-for-display object! functions." "Ryan"]
And, finally, here are the ussage instructions for the newly created
functions 'create-messsage and 'get-messages-for-display. These are
higher-level functions, depending on other library functions for
execution:
CREATING (AND SAVING) MESSAGES
Using decoded CGI data, writes XML standard message file to
directory determined by messageType.
create-message/from-cgi cgi-input
Using an e-mail message in the form of a REBOL e-mail object!,
writes XML standard message file to 'email' directory.
create-message/from-email email-message
RETRIEVING MESSAGES MARKED-UP FOR DISPLAY
Using decoded CGI data, create a block! of messages marked up for
display using standardized cascading style sheets tags as the
display markup.
get-messages-for-display/all-messages-in-directory/css-output cgi-input
Using decoded CGI data, create a block! of messages marked up for
display using a set of HTML tags as defined in an external object! as
the display markup.
get-messages-for-display/all-messages-in-directory/html-output cgi-input
Using decoded CGI data, mark up a specific message for display
using standardized cascading style sheets tags as the display
markup.
get-messages-for-display/specific-message/css-output cgi-input
Using decoded CGI data, mark up a specific message for display
using a set of HTML tags as defined in an external object! as the
display markup.
get-messages-for-display/specific-message/html-output cgi-input
