The Zine is fantastic at showing off some wonderfully innovative thinking.
Great job people!
Brett.

I'm a JDC member and I've signed up to the Tech Tips and newsletter they
send out every so often. This second /zine issue was far more interesting
and better presented than any of the JDC mailings (and, IMO, that's saying
a lot)!

Try to be the best of whatever you are, even if what you are is no
good.

Hmmm... On the browser I'm using at the moment (Netscape 4.76
on RedHat Linux 7.1) both Zine pages display as blank, except
for the "REBOLforces" header. I've browsed around the site a
bit; all other pages appear to work fine.
Perhaps an html glitch?

Joel,
Thanks for letting me know, I probably busted the html in my make-doc
formatter, I'll check it out tomorrow. (1 am for me now)

I just downloaded the lastest build of Mozilla (2001062815)
and on this, the text stretches far off to the right.
The pages also fail the W3C validation service at:

There does indeed appear to be a glitch produced by a slightly modified
version of the %make-spec.r program. A single missing tag is rendering
the entire page unreadable on NS4...
Also on NS4, the stylesheet is hidden (it crashed the browser - so much
for standards compliance) and I am working on one specifically for that
browser. As to the lines on the latest Mozilla, I haven't seen this bug
on the version I tested with (again this could relate to the modified
make-spec).
Finally validation, RF is currently evolving (I hope the design is to
most peoples' tastes) and the final version will probably validate to
HTML 4.01 Transitional - almost but not quite Strict.
I welcome any feedback here, at my own email address and on RIM to
anything related to design and RF.

I suspect the text stretches as far as the longest code example, which
may be long if the line endings are being ignored... Does that describe
your problem?

Unfortunately my prototype (which validated perfectly :o) got a bit
mangled by Allen's make-spec (still a work in progress, but blame where
blame is due :o). I may get some control over it again, in which case,
the final RF *will* validate.
Thanks for the feedback,
- Chris
