REBOL [ File: %rebol-dom.r Date: 05-01-2021 Title: "Dialect Object Model" Emai: %inetw3--dm--gmail--com author: daniel murrill version: 1.0 Purpose: { Use a exstensible Rebol Markup function to parse DSL's that will return an easy to follow tagged key value Dialect Object Model that allow different DSL's, programming languages to work with or together through a Central Processing interpreter. Yes Rebol/Core. A demo example of a HTML DSL is parsed by the Dialect Object Model to return valid HTML then processed by the %Mdlparser wich in return creates UI VID code. All scripting takes place in the DOM and then passed as VID code to Rebol/View. So instead of writing parse rules for DSL's, you work with your DSL as a DOM and immediatley began to write code for it as if it's a programming language.} ] library: [ author: daniel murrill level: 'intermediate platform: 'all type: [Dialects Markup] domain: [html vid css json js array] tested-under: 'windows support: none license: none see-also: %Mdlparser.r version: 1.0 ] my-dialect: [ rebol-DOM: [{DSL-type="html/block" type="text/html"}] lua-tbl = {[first] = "fred", [last] = "cougar"} #this-issue [{color: "purple" bgcolor: "orange"}] var anObj = {`100: 'a', `2: 'b', `7: 'c', }; body: [{background-color="blue" text "white"} ] p: [ {"color":"#0000ff", "bgcolor":"yellow", "width" : "399", "height" : "100" "font-styles": "big" } This is an example of an Dialect Oject Model b: [ {id="my-p1" color = "Chocolate" bgcolor = "yellow"} that can be written to look like json' html' javascript arrays' css' i: [ {color = "green"} VID' or plain old rebol ] ] if you like. ] hr: [{color="red" bgcolor="yellow"}] div: [ {width="399" bgcolor="orange"} b: [ {color: "purple" bgcolor: "orange"} Maybe it would be easier to write i: [ {id="my-p1" color: "green"} MakeDoc.r code but the purpose of this rebol DOM is'] ] ] p: [ {width "399" height= 200 style="color: red; bgcolor: brown; border: 2x2;" } b: [ {color="red"} to read or load as many well known dialects of coding styles as possible and write all of it as a single or seperate legible rebol series that's quickly manipulated' transcoded as html' and viewed as a VID. ] ] ] document.: func [request-as][ DOM: head DOM use*=*to-set-values any [ all [not empty?

To start you just look up or set everything by key value pairs. ;methods are just a quicker way to get to local associated data.
