I have been looking through R3 alpha which much delight,. I am not on alt= me, so if this suggestion makes sense pass it on. The implementation of aspects of rtf is to be welcome, text has to be tre= ated well and this is a massive improvement.
However, it needs to have =93invisible=94 or =93hidden=94. It needs to have control over the spaces between paragraphs (above and be= low), superscriipt and subscript. It needs to recognise soft-hyphens. It needs justification. Given these improvements, text needs to be flowable into pages and flowed= from page to page, Draw would be excellent if it could do this. Flow log= ic has to be simple to be effective (placing footnotes means extending up= wards a box while shrinking the box above it =96 headers etc also flow), = doing this =96 given some limited extra rtf extensions mentioned above, w= ith mezzanine extensions in flow control for Draw (controlling page-box, = margins, text and picture boxes, tables etc) =96 Rebol could do marvels = in end-user applications (word processing being the most used application= and most time wasting in practical employment). A few more features, in other words, would make a huge difference to what= Rebol could do in terms of text manipulation and presentation.
