in rebol you can go from real ground to real abstractive concepts 
(from "a" to "<body" for example

Geomol: I think I'll try your tool before. Does it have any LaTeX 
backend ?

that means you can analyse each and every char in your document or 
locate flags and retrieve the data following

shadwolf: working with strings in C is a real headhache, I agree. 
but it's efficient. The more I know about Rebol, the more I like 
it.

parse works as a swich/case too since once a flag is found you can 
call external function to process the following datas

shadwolf: well, that's like Parsec in Haskell : you can associate 
"actions" within the parse.

kib, the output in HTML include TeX for the math, which in the end 
is rendered by jsMath. No LaTeX, pure REBOL.

kib, main page is here: http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdoc/

Geomol: I've been misunderstood : I was asking if you can output 
a LaTeX doc from your markup engine.

kib, no not yet.

I should retake my svg engin and try to make it in full raw parse 
 ^^

I have more and more need for LaTeX output, so I might do it any 
day.

but i'm waiting for R3 stable to do so in fact ... as i'm sure parse 
in R3 will be much better than in R2

Geomol: ok, but that should be rather easy, no ?! If you need help 
with LaTeX, maybe I can help you.

:-)

shadwolf: where's your svg engine ?

http://shadwolf.free.fr/svg-demo-shad06.zip

shadwolf: you're a Frenchie ?

yes  i have this pleasure ^^

+1

my engine works on 2 pass  ( i know that's a shame etc... ok but 
i wirted it in 2 days :P)

shadwolf: it's for R2 only ?

1 pass i convert SVG raw datas from the XML format to rebol objets 
than i convert this rebol object (with all the datas in it to REBOL/VIEW/DRAW 
 instructions

yes

since R3 is not stable and official and that it can change alot until 
being stable so i don't write anything for R3

and once R3 is out i will do the efffort to restart from scratch 
this project and do it 1 pass pure parse

shadwolf: you practice Rebol since ?

hum .... not that much

i'm in silent mode waiting for R3 ^^

:)

but rebol is easy you don't have to practice it 10 hour a day to 
be able to do insane things with it

i would say parse is really the thing i need to understand further 
and heavy work on (you can write a 500  pages book only about parse 
and all it's subtilities)

I've been programming in Python for 6 years now. When I became fed 
up with it 3 months ago, I've tried maybe 15 langages since, and 
now I've got 2 or 3 good candidates.

There's even a local REBOL page for you french guys: http://www.rebol-france.org/

yes ^^

from here you can access rebelBB (forum built using parse) or the 
wiki with lots of documents

kib, you might also find this page interesting: http://www.rebolforces.com/

Some good articles in the REBOL/Zine there. There were written years 
ago, but still good, I guess.

Thanks for those links (I already know rebol-france). I just discovered 
there are a lot of books on Rebol (I've bought the last one in French):

Do you know good Rebol hosting plans ?

good question and hum apart the one you will set yourself i don't 
know

after that depends on how deep you want your rebol to be embeded 
to your website

if you want to use rebol like php you can use cheyenne!

shadwolf: from what I've read, it's just a cgi script....but free.fr 
does not support them!

cheyene! is a web server writed in rebol to execute rebolscripts 
but i don't know free hosters proposing it

ok, thanks. I'll have a look at it.

I use Cheyenne with my HTML dialect to host small dynamic pages that 
take a few minutes to write.

Henrik: and you're self hosting ?

on my laptop at the moment.

Henrik: so when your laptop is off, your site too ?!

yes :-)
