[REBOL] Re: make-doc-pro: how to handle tables?

Hi Joel,
I've been long winded enough so I'll just clear up one thing from
our last exchange.
I said:
> ...If I were just typing a document, I would probably do something
>like this:

> Table 1.
> ---------------------------------------
> NAME PHONE E-MAIL
> ---------------------------------------
> Bob Jones 000.0000 [Bob--Jones--com]
> Mary Smith 111.1111 [Mary--Smith--com]

You said:
>Now you're just making up another set of rules on the fly,...
Confusion again. I hadn't intended for that example to be taken
as a synactical model for the make-doc table discussion. It was
just an example of how I would format a plain text table manually.
If I could teach make-doc to parse what I would just naturally enter,
then so much the better.
Thanks again. I think this kind of discussion is really valuable
considering the importance of dialecting in REBOL. I think well
designed dialects may very well transform the way we work.
