by pure circumstances... I just came across this page which gives some other data about stuff related to VID/View.
its like a user accumulated page of tidbits, FAQ & Howto... useful for beginners & intermediate level REBOLers very cool when using search function of a browser you can discover many little tricks which aren't easily covered in reference manuals... -MAx On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 9:48 PM, Maxim Olivier-Adlhoch <[email protected]> w= rote: > Hi all, > > The real reference documentation to VID/View is here: > > http://www.rebol.com/docs/view-system.html > > I refer to it often, still. > > VID is just a dialect over view, and just about everything in view is > used directly by the code in VID, so just knowing what view can do, is > the best way to understand VID. > > The init and feel code of most styles is also a VERY good place to > look to know how the various styles work. =A0things like the obscure > face/colors & face/fonts block can be understood by looking at these. > > -MAx > > On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 7:02 PM, Carl Read <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> On Friday, 11-September-2009 at 9:18:28 David den Haring wrote, >> >>> Another common response to this question is "Just study the source".
