G: there was at least one View-based browser/HTML viewer, but it 
was one of FrankS's disappearing FX5 scripts.

I also give it a try. Not really a browser, just an HTML renderer 
with view/draw.

But rendering HTML is a very complex thing to do, especially the 
layout, tables...
So it is only able to render texte styles.

In the long run, it's probably better to adopt something like webkit. 
Creating a good HTML rendering engine is a monstrous task, but I 
would like to see an extension of the DOC style for good document 
reading.

I fully agree wiht Henrik

Yeah, DOC style is a good start.

But there are already great things with R2 : remembering HyperNotes 
(In R2 Desktop, rebol.com, Contest) this is a Makedoc based and rendering 
is just fine, with links and so on !!
It could be a good base for a remote Wiki editor. Just add an HTML 
generator to convert to static pages tree.

Hi !
How could I run a Rebol script from the command line (without using 
Rebol's own console). 

I've tried typing : "rebview.ewe myfile.r" (idem with rebcore) form 
a windows console, but the output disappear instantaneously.

You want output to windows console? I am not sure it is possible 
with rebol console. It is possible with R3 though. If you want to 
stop your script, just add "halt" command at the end of your script, 
it will not close the console ...

Maybe I just don't understand, what you're trying to achieve ...
also - type >> usage in rebol console to see possible options ...

Pekr: yes, I want to output to the console.
But thanks, "halt" solved my problems as I can now launch my script 
from my editor and watch the Rebol's console output.

I am not sure if you can run rebol script in "real" console on windos, 
but on linux you can
I mean , I didn't see that options on windows

Janko: it seems to me that it's not possible.
Can someone help ? I want to know why my second title is not recognized

Looks like the rest of the text is handled like one big paragraph.
kib2
11-Feb-2009
[1981]
Henrik: sure, but  why ?
Henrik
11-Feb-2009
[1982]
I would guess you want a paragraph to be parsed until two newlines 
occur?
kib2
11-Feb-2009
[1983]
Exactly! Also, running this snippet in R3 does not bring the same 
result.
Henrik
11-Feb-2009
[1984]
I would not trust R3's parse for now. It's buggy and changing.
kib2
11-Feb-2009
[1985]
ok, and for my paragraphs ?
Henrik
11-Feb-2009
[1986]
I suggest you take a look at the makedoc parser. it does exactly 
that. I'm not sure how to solve that problem.
kib2

Ok, thanks for the tip.

kib, you write:

title: [ 1 6 "=" copy title to newline ]


In that, you use the word title for two things, so you destroy your 
intention. Change one of them to another word (remember to do it 
again further down your code).

Geomol: my fault, thanks a lot! I didn't notice I've used "title" 
for 2 different purpose. Changing the variable name solved the issue.

You might wanna use TRIM with your titles.
Neither did all of us here. That's why we use REBOL.
kib2

[1996x2]
Ok, I just checked TRIM : that's useful.
I've somewhat modified the TextMate bundle for REBOL for e TextEditor, 
and made a new theme for it : http://tinyurl.com/dxt89p. I someone 
is interested, let me now.

I played with the TextMate bundle at one point (when I had a mac 
running here), and I think Will Arp or Chris Ross-Gill have also 
done some work on it.
And, yes, REBOL is wonderfully addictive. :-)
Henrik

There is a bug in an older version of the textmate bundle, causing 
textmate to very quickly fill an error log with megabytes of errors.
kib2

Help! : how can I use parse to handle this case: a match will starts 
at  "//" only if the char before "//" is not ":" (like in "http:://www...") 
?
Henrik: how do you raise such errors ?
Henrik
13-Feb-2009
[2003]
kib2: I never entirely found out, but I think it could have been 
when it was trying to syntax highlight empty brackets: []
kib2

Henrik: no problem for me inside eTextEditor. I've also noticed that 
the textmate bundle missed several keywords (ie the ones from the 
parse dialect).

This looks like a bug to me

What version of rebol, on what platform?
On linux, I get
>> x/1
== #"?"
Aha. In Rebol3 string! and char! were removed from COMPLEMENT allowed 
arg types.

For me :

== #"Å"

On Windows Seven with RebolView 2.7.6.3.1
