DIALECT IN REBOL: why advanced documentation so poor in Rebol ?

 [1/2] from: youpi:technologies:wanadoo at: 23-Sep-2000 16:18


Since I am evaluating the language, I am mostly interested about its advanced features. Although there are hundreds of pages of very good documentation about the basic syntax of Rebol it really lacks documentation about the most advanced features which Rebol advertise on like its dialecting features. I can't see where it is documented ? Thanks.

The best example for a dialect is VID, the Visual Interface Dialect that accompanies REBOL/View (experimental). Review the documentation and investigate the source code. That should give you some idea of dialecting. ;- Elan [ : - ) ] author of REBOL: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE REBOL Press: The Official Source for REBOL Books http://www.REBOLpress.com visit me at http://www.TechScribe.com
