No. No joking now... For lot of french taking ppl, another language 
than french is on the border of the unbiliefable. But isn't so also 
for the native english talking ppl ?

We started in february this year with the "REBOL Documentation Project" 
initiative with also this goal into our vision: let's make REBOL 
popular by translating doc ! There's a LOT of high value articles 
and studies abour REBOL out there... lonely in english ... (Ladislav 
:-) ) or in french ... let's translate it ! let's publish it !

For now, we succeed a bit into getting good french documentation. 
But it can be still beter ! OK, i can admit, i did not deploy a lot 
of effort to "recruit' english-speeking author for publishing on 
our website ... Yet, it stays open ! Come on in ! Do YOU have something 
to say about REBOl ? Do you want to make it publicly accessible ? 
We need YOU ! Contact me and get on the 'REBOL Documentation Project' 
!

OK... Should we create a new "REBOL Documentation Project" aka "REBDocProj" 
group ?

I should note i'm Belgian, not French :-))

Robert: well, i didn't go into your latest version, but is the table 
handling not a compatibility problem? i mean =row against || text 
| text ...

Tables: Yes, I didn't yet implemented it. But shouldn't be that hard 
to do.

I thought, for several times, to rewrite the MDP parser to use Garbriele's 
compile-rules function. Should make the parser simpler and more compact. 
Further I could design it in a way to handle the different approaches 
better.

But this needs quite a lot of time...

I don't find URL support as described in http://www.rebol.net/docs/makedoc/md1.html#section-5.5
 in the released makeDoc version accessible at http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=makedoc2.r
   Rambo 488 raised for this.

that url directive only works if it's on the left margin.

Hi Graham,  this version ignores my =url request and look at the 
source http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=makedoc2.r
  I can't find any URL text string in that source.

I think this version does not support =url at any column position.

The web page created by makedoc2.r is too wide for my screen. How 
can I make the lines wrap at the right border of the window so that 
when the window size is changed the line breaks are automatically 
adjusted?

IIRC it's some CSS style/tag named "float"... but not sure, out of 
my head.

Louis:  simplest solution - change width of table (can be percents) 
- or delete it 

<table width="660" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0"> to 
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" border="0">

Robert and Alek_K, thanks for responding. Deleting the table altogether 
solved the problem. Thanks!

For makedoc2.r input log 488 on Rambo which has morphed to Reviewed 
log 3955, this change deck provides =url support for anyone who wants 
it.  

The line changes are all inserts and the line number is the download 
version from the script library as of a few minutes ago

-ins 136

        | "url" url

-ins 169 


url: [
    some space copy text thru newline (
        emit url parse/all text " "
    )
]


-ins 311 

            url         [emit-url doc/2]


-ins 512

emit-url: func [spec] [
    emit [reduce {<a href="} spec/1 {">} skip spec 1 </a><p>]
]

I'm running into that issue.  Is there another way to do URLs in 
MakeDoc2 besides the supposed =url ?

Plain html?

Or patching :)

We'll see if I have any luck trying to patch it, volker

Where is the source, what do you need? IIRC i patched it once, so 
i may remember where to place code.

It looks like MikeL has it above this.  I'll just make those changes 
and confirm it

OK, I updated the MakeDoc2 file per MikeL's changes and here is a 
URL for testing:   http://www.cs.grin.edu/~shirema1/makedoc2.r

Worked ok for me

Quick work :)

Thank you

MikeL

Is there a way to make blank lines (also blank boxes) in Makedoc?

if nothing else: html. <br> <p>

Hi,

Hi,

Is there any easy way to get blank columns in makedoc tables?

\table

<BR>


=row

<BR>


/table

Thanks Reichart, I was just about to post that I stumbeld on a non 
breaking space    solution.

And then I stumbled on posting stumbel

makespace

Am I correct that tables in MakeDoc are only vertical?!!?

Meaning, the the top is darker than the rows.

Is there way to make a table in MakeDoc that has the first column 
all dark, then each column to the right is white?

You want row headings instead of column headings. Not supported.

It's not supported by html

In HTML I can colour the table cells on the left, and leave the other 
columns clear.  So that should work.

Actually, it's pretty simple to do it in HTML:

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>One</th><td>one</td>
    </tr><tr>
         <th>Two</th><td>two</td>
     </tr>
</table>

Just use TH instead of TD where you want the Header cells to be.

Is it me or is there not a hidden option to make 2 column output 
in makedoc 2? I seem to remember one.

some versions have something like that, not sure the official version 
does.

Henrik, I am not sure what you mean but this makes a two column table 
for me

\table

Column1 Heading

Column2 Heading

=row

Cell 1,1

Cell 1,2

=row

Cell 2,1

Cell 2,2


/table
