No - not a bug. The type of value REJOIN returns will be the same as the first value in the block, so with your example, you're getting a tag back. You can see what's happening here...
>> probe rejoin [<html> "text"]
<htmltext> == <htmltext>
>> probe rejoin [<html> "text" "more text"]
<htmltextmore text> == <htmltextmore text>
>> probe rejoin [<html> "text" "more text" <and a tag>]
<htmltextmore text<and a tag>> == <htmltextmore text<and a tag>> To get what I assume you want, ensure the first value's a string in one way or another...
>> probe rejoin ["" <html> "text" </html>]
<html>text</html> == "<html>text</html>"
>> probe rejoin [mold <html> "text" </html>]
<html>text</html> == "<html>text</html>" Hope that helps. -- Carl Read
