[REBOL] RBML (was Stupid Parse Tricks)

From: john::schuhr::com at: 7-Jun-2001 11:30

Hi Ed.. well, I'm not really looking to "clone" CF, but I do find it
convenient and I wanna create something very similar.  I'm with you on the
whole # thing.  It does complicate things sometimes in CF. I don't really
intend to use it as the variable delimiter, but I just slapped it in
there.. this project is only about 30 minutes old (actual coding) :-)

Maybe something more like:

<table>
  <rebout>
  <tr>
    <td>~loginname~</td>
    <td>~logintime~</td>
  </tr>
  </rebout>
</table>

I kinda like what you presented as well, but suppose I wanted to do the
following:

<rebout query "qry-pmts">
  <rebscript>
    my-date: now/date
    either (my-date > qry-pmts/user-due-date) [pmt-status:
late
][pmt-status: "due"]
  </rebscript>
  Your payment is ~pmt-status~.<br>
</rebout>

Granted, the current model doesn't support thing, but I'm looking into
recursive parsing so this is possible.  Any character(s) could serve as
delimiters.. just have to find one that works :)
Thanks for the feedback Ed!
