Anyway, I think if you just get started it will fall into place

another thing which helps is to be (rather) fluent or at least aware 
in how REBOL handles the evaluation of words and how to bind words 
to different blocks.


mastering this will help you go at a new level in your dialecting. 
 keep this for your second pass at learning if you're still new to 
REBOL itself.

Well, you guys have given me a good starting point, which is what 
I was hoping for. Have to sign off but I'll get my hands dirty over 
the next couple of weeks and maybe come back with some more specific 
questions. Thanks to all!

Geoff, don't be afraid to sketch out ideas of your ideal language, 
with different approaches and tradeoffs, and then posting them here 
for people to comment on. Language design isn't easy, and you can 
paint yourself into a corner, or make it too hard to implement easily 
by making it do too much. 


Start small and come up with the core ideas that define the feel 
of your language, and keep other questions in mind. What are you 
descrbing? What are the things and what are the actions? Do you need 
to refer to things you've defined within the dialect, or does it 
just pre-process and build structures for regular REBOL processing?

Anyone got any tools for emitting docs in EPUB format?
Please!?
