[promotion] Seeding the web with Rebol
[1/4] from: AJMartin::orcon::net::nz at: 24-Dec-2003 22:49
I've been wandering 'round the web, and a little while ago came across a
interesting (and practical-ish) task on a scripting forum, which I solved
with Rebol. If people are interested, the thread is at:
http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=271930
The interesting part is that my script creates 'parse rules (and actions)
automatically to do the job, and that it took me about an hour or so to
create.
Enjoy!

I'm a rebol begginner but this looks like it will help with something I'm
playing with...
It's a kind of html-wiki for our intranet. Have you ever used a wiki? very
useful but fustratingly limited presentation on screen, being able to use
full html would be much better
To make it more wiki-like it just needs to recognise words with two capitals
and if no html file exists - make it a link to a script that will let you
create/edit an html file
any chance you could send me the support libs you mention ?

I'm glad you like it. Feel free to use it as you wish, but please stop short
of the point of stopping anyone else from using it.

:Coughs: Uhm, I've written a Wiki for Rebol, using my eText and ML dialects.
It can deliver some HTML pages, but not those pages that have separate style
sheets or pictures. It's a limitation that I've been unhappy with over the
past few months, but haven't got around to curing yet.

Unfortunately, my Wiki doesn't support smashed-together words with two
capitals; that's because I didn't like that way (it seems so unnatural to
me), so I used something more simpler, I feel. I use a prefix question mark,
like:
?Wiki
Or like:
?"A long phrase with embedded spaces in it"

I've sent them directly to you, with some instructions. Let me know if
you've got any troubles.

Looks good. I tested it with a bunch of html files and an extra html file
called "the.html".
Generating parse rules can be quite a powerful technique. Runtime code
generation is something REBOL seems very good at. :-)
