[REBOL] Re: Rebol Server Pages
From: bo:rebol at: 3-Nov-2000 9:58
On my webserver that handles embedded REBOL (I'm not sure if this is the
same as your .RSP idea), it is as simple as this:
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Example</TITLE></HEAD>
<H1>Bo's embedded REBOL example</H1>
<P>The time is <REBOL>output now</REBOL>
<P>This webserver is running on REBOL/<REBOL>
output [system/product system/version]
</REBOL>
</HTML>
I've done much more complex things with it in the past like building HTML
tables on the fly from dynamic data, etc. I like to keep it clean looking.
Just a thought!
