[REBOL] Re: Makedoc
From: swhite::ci::bloomington::mn::us at: 27-Jul-2006 8:26
Well, I found the problem. Near the end of the script is the line that
creates the output file name out of the input file name:
append clear find/last file #"." ".html"
My input file name did not have a dot anywhere in it, so when the
script tried to find a dot as an place marker for the .html extension,
it could not.
With my background (Unisys and unix), I did not realize that a file
name "extension" was a de-facto requirement, so I don't always use one.
I guess I will from now on.
Thank you.

I use it all the time to produce miles and miles of documentation,
and I believe it is the official way.

It's hard to tell when you haven't reproduced the error, but the
official version is downloadable from this place:
http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?
script=makedoc2.r
The easiest way is to start it. It will then prompt for an input
file. When you give it a make doc text file, it should produce an
HTML file from that input.
A rather large example of a makedoc 2 document can be found here:
