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.
