Yes I would like to see this and the ref doc tool rescuscitated. the ref-doc.r is my single most usefull rebol self-help tool. It is out of date, but man its usefull. it would be fun to merge both ideas by creating a base viewer and using m-d-p files as catalogues which can be loaded/edited.
I think this is already the case, but just in case... for sure, some updating would need to be done. I am starting work on STEEL|forge this week. Maybe I could tackle this documentation issue as a workable prototype to try out the ideas I have for forge. Instead of a dummy application, I might end-up with something which actually helps out, on its own too! Something that is one script, loads catalogues, saves local appended versions. With some collaboration from rebol.org, we could include a submit button where we could all send our usefull tidbits and load them, a la ref-doc. This would be really effective with stuff from the list. Simple and effective, ALL user comments considered. I know this has been taunted by many of us and started at least in part too, but I am now at a point, where I can actually put time on end-user applications, through forge. -MAx --- "You can either be part of the problem or part of the solution, but in the end, being part of the problem is much more fun." > -----Original Message----- > From: Cybarite [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 6:40 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [REBOL] Re: understanding rebol > > > hmmmm can't seem to leave this topic.... > > Back in 2001, I added some sections to Carl's base work for > VID - it was called %easyvid.r > > Carl's original is in the REBOL library at: > > http://www.reboltech.com/library/html/easy-vid.html > > > It has "runnable code" in it - i.e. see the code sample then > click on it to open a view that shows result. > > It was incomplete then and is now a bit more out of date. > But when I have to do some View screens, I refer back to it > because it is easy to see the syntax and a click to try it out. > > > > Is there any interest in resurrecting this stuff? > > I think it is the best way to document the visual REBOL .... > that's why Carl made the first version of it. > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject. > > -- To unsubscribe from this list, just send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe as the subject.
