Hi all rebol-lister
Happy New Year to all, and a new FAQ.

How to display multi-line text?
Short answer:
Using as-is and a negative height such as 400x-1
Problem illustration:
=====================
rebol []
;-------------------------------
; This program shows a one line text.
; The multi-line text to display
;-------------------------------
myCode: {view center-face layout [
banner "Test"
button "OK"
]
}
win: layout/size
[
style code text black silver bold
code 360x100 myCode
] 400x200
view center-face win
Problem resolution:
===================
win: layout/size
[
style code text black silver bold as-is
code 360x-1 myCode
] 400x200
Two things are needed : (1) the use of as-is in the style, (2) a pair with a
negative height.
Note : this answer comes from Carl Sassenrath's easyvid.r.

Hi Patrick,
You don't need to specify the height at all. You can just specify the width.
e.g
view layout/size my-code: [
style code text black silver bold as-is
code 360 mold my-code
] 400x200
Cheers,

Thanks,
You are right ! for my purpose, it's ok.
Do you know by any chance why negative heights are used in easyvid.r ? I
dare not ask the author :)

Any idea how to do that with something like:
alert mold error-object
Thanks!!
