Hi, I just hope changing /nowait refinement to /no-wait found it's way to official docs :-) If not, why haven't you ask? :-) Is there about to be html for of docs? Maybe REBOL community would like to translate into native languages for better support? -pekr-

Pekr, We haven't had the chance to translate from PDF to HTML...no small task with all the formatting. It's in the cue, just not at the top. Thanks for the reminder! Dan At 12:58 AM 11/29/00 +0100, you wrote:

REBOL Tech, As much as I like html, wouldn't it be better to put the user guides in Viewable format and use Carl's EasyVid viewer to look at it? The existing easyvid.r data needs some work that I have put my hand up to submit some. Just have this project to do then translate the findings back into some documentation that might be useful to others. The easyvid.r source code itself is really very nice. But It needs some enhancements - the main ones being: a. a tree format for the left side navigation with hide / expand on the branches. b. a scrollable view window on the right side. Using View to see REBOL documentation would give some more exposure to the capabilities of View. Then the great browsing masses could use the PDF version and the people who really want to use REBOL could View it. And the Viewers would get the advantages of the click-to-run code examples that Carl put in Easyvid.r

So nice that I'm putting to the attention of the Web_dialect list and thinking about it for the eText project Garold and I are doing.

with all the formatting. It's in the queue, just not at the top. Thanks for the reminder! I'm sure there's an automatic free program to translate PDF to HTML on the net that I came across recently. Does any one know it? Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://members.nbci.com/AndrewMartin/

The task is no big deal if you had Magellan 4.2 on hand. The commercial price is only $199.00 :) Geo...

There's a linux program called pdftohtml (very cunning I thought..) The only problem I found when trying is that it's useless.. It does everything it's supposed to - convert pdf to html - just not very well.. :/ Chris -- New sig in the works Explorer2260 Designer and Coder http://www.starforge.co.uk

Have a look at: http://www.bcl-computers.com They have an online pdf-html converter (although I thinks its limited to 5mb files). I also use their plugin for Acrobat called Magellan. This is a pdf - html converter. Results vary from very good to 'of some use'. They also have a product called Jade which will covert to rtf format. Give them a try you should find them useful. I think you can download demo versions - but you will need a full version of Acrobat. Nigel
