[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! Andrew J Martin Speaking in tongues and performing miracles. ICQ: 26227169 http://www.rebol.it/Valley/ http://valley.orcon.net.nz/ http://Valley.150m.com/

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 ?

useful but fustratingly limited presentation on screen, being able to use full html would be much better. :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. Andrew J Martin Speaking in tongues and performing miracles. ICQ: 26227169 http://www.rebol.it/Valley/ http://valley.orcon.net.nz/ http://Valley.150m.com/

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. :-) Regards, Brett.
