World: r3wp

uhm .... I would not put it that way ... still REBOL related and 
hence appreciated ... we should chat in ann-reply probably ...

(moving to Ann-Reply)

PeterWood, I had downloaded some single chapters and I liked what 
I read...

I'm going to order the printed version but I notice its black and 
white only? I was hoping the printed version would b ecolor but I 
guess that would increase costs...

Initial public version of REBOL BBCode implementation:
http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/bbcode.html
http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/bbcode.r

Updated:

REBOL code

Started writing a RebolLexer for pygments.org

Good Job Oldes!

So the REBOL lexer for Pygments syntax highlighter is here
http://box.lebeda.ws/~hmm/rebol/rebolLexer.py
Let's see if the Python guys will add it into the distribution.

Oldes : I'm sure they'll do if you tell them.

Oldes: you site is awesome, really.

I told them.. but.. I think that the Python community is not much 
communicative. At least from my short experience with Python.

Anyway.. now I recognized that I forgot to add the special REBOL 
notation for numbers like: 1'000.00

I will add it later. (I was never fun of these notations, but someone 
may use it)

I understand them, Rebol is the Python Killer :) (well but they don't 
know it yet anyway)

Janko: :)

Oldes: they've done it for other langages (superiror to Python too), 
like Haskell.

For those of you that want to go to a rock'n conference (in Long 
Beach, CA, next week)

clicking on the flikr link, I get "Not a valid email" 8)

flikr -> flickr

so, why does it offer to send an email??

I guess you are the third on the picture.. 8P

Hmmm, guess you guys should tell Yahoo/Fickr

Here is a direct link though - http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3031/2309872444_844f7663cd.jpg?v=0

Oldes: cool.  Let us know if they don't add it and we can bombard 
them with requests

It's there http://dev.pocoo.org/projects/pygments/browser/pygments/lexers/other.py#L1626

I must say, that the Pygments is much more better designed then a 
Geshi syntax highlighter (PHP).

Oldes: so they finally accepted it ? Good news ! I suppose it's for 
R2 only ?

There is almost no difference in syntax between R2 and R3, but the 
predefined words are different (and getting moreso).

Brian... percent!

And range! ?

At this point just percent and the prefix being dropped from money, 
hence the "almost". No range.

Ive updated my old pastebin (sorry for its name) so that you can 
test Oldes's Pygment lexer (and you can have html,latex,svg,etc outputs) 
: http://clojurepastebin.appspot.com/

Brian, right, but that's enough to make R2 unable to load R3 files...

(when we started including VID3 in R3, we had to switch from using 
R2 for the build process to using R3 itself, just because of that.)

Right. Compatibility with R2 has never been a goal of R3.

Going to give a speech about Rebol in May/June at a university in 
Germany. Hopefully showing the potential to a lot of professors and 
students. Spread the word!

Oldes: code is there but it doesn't show up as an option in the pull 
down menu at pygments.org

Maybe it needs some time.

it's there now http://pygments.org/demo/?lang=rebol

looks good

If someone miss a chance to save into JPEGs, GIFs or other formats 
directly from REBOL, here is simple image saver using Imagemagick's 
library.

NicomDoc v. 2.2 released: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdoc/

- Added output for TeX (LaTeX).
- New way to specify fonts by font family.
- New way to resize fonts relative -4 ... +5.
- Scaling of images.

- Math engine had big overhaul to not be focused on semantics, but 
on presentation (less errors in practise).
- Text in code examples will be wrapped at 77 chars per line.
- Added vertical space by simply doing more newlines in a row.
- Updated all documentation and examples.

NicomDoc v. 2.1 can still be found here: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdoc/ver2.1/

Updated RebXML scripts found at http://www.rebol.org
(Bug fixes and improvements.)

RebXML spec: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/rebxml/rebxml-spec.html

Well done, John.

Thanks, Paul!

PostScript dialect v. 0.4.4 released:
http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/postscript/postscript.r


Added replacement of some special characters, that need to be escaped.

Geomol thanks, do you have any example of usage?

Try the example in the start of the documentation: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/postscript/postscript.html

R2-Forward has been released! Now you don't necessarily have to wait 
for R3 to get finished - use the new functions in R2 now :)

Released to DevBase (aka R3 chat) in Community/Libraries/R2-Forward 
(837). Tested in 2.6.2, 2.7.5 and 2.7.6. Take a look!

Stats: 72 words exported, 49999 chars, 41522 LM, 29730 LMF, 8379 
LMFC.


Obviously, there are whole categories of stuff that won't be backported; 
the notes say what is supported. You'd be surprised what I *have* 
managed to backport though - even some datatypes are spoofed :)


Discussions in R3 chat #837, or the Core group here. More testing 
is welcome - I'd like to push my tested platforms back as far as 
2.5.0 if I can. My todo list for R2-Forward is pretty extensive...

BrianH: Sorry for that question, but how could I find where to download 
somehing on DevBase ? I saw your messages, but that's all.

type 837 to get into the folder and then: get r2-forward.r
