I want to code a XML parser/validator when I�m chanced (project "Markup") .
I thought it would be a good idea to create an Object with functions
directly from the given HTML/XML/XHTML :


give a  file caleed test.html

          <html>
          <head>
          <title> test </test>
          </head>
          <body>
               <span id="dynamic-content-name"> hello world! </span>

               </body>
          </html>


 testobject:  markup/read %test.html


this produces an Object! with Words! that contains the markup and "change"
methods for the dynamic content:

testobject: make object! [
               print start-html
               print start-head
               print start-title
               print end-head
               print start-body

               dynamic-content-name: function [ my-new-content-for-id ] [
change id  my-new-content-for-id ]

               print end-body
               print end-html


               ]
then I could say:

 testobject/dynamic-content-name " hello earthling! "

markup should have the refinements:

markup/print  "to print the object created from the marked-up file"
markup/read " to read and create functions for the marked up file"
markup/validate " to validate markup against a given DTD"

This is by no means valid or tested code, I have just a hazy idea how it
should be implemented, but its�too complicated for a 4 week old REBOler
that I am. I think this approch separates the code from the content a step
further from server pages.

Rebol Server Pages could be implemented like this:

*.RSP is the file name extension. RSP: Rebol Server Pages.

The embedded Rebol script in the .RSP would look like this:

<html>
<head><title><%: Title: "Rebol Server Pages test" %></title>
<body>
<h1><%: Title %></h1>
The date and time at the server is: <%: now %>. <br>
There should be four "Hello"'s following this:
<% for i 4 1 -1 [
    %><h<%: i %>>Hello</h<%: i %>><%
    ] %>
</body>
</html>

"<%" opens a tag that contain Rebol script that doesn't need it's value
embedded in the resulting HTML code.
"<%:" opens a tag that contains Rebol script that should be converted to a
string and embedded in the resulting HTML code.
"%>" closes either of the above tags.

The implementation of the above could occur in a object, like this:

RSP: make object! [
    prin "<html>^/<head><title>"
    prin Title: "Rebol Server Pages test"
    prin "</title>^/<body>^/<h1>"
    prin Title
    prin "</h1>^/The date and time at the server is: "
    prin now
    prin ">. <br>^/There should be four "Hello"'s following this:"
    for i 4 1 -1 [
        prin "<h"
        prin i
        prin ">Hello</h"
        prin i
        ]
    prin "</body>^/</html>"
    ]

Hmmmm, and after painstakingly writing out all those 'prin, it might be
easier to rewrite it into a block suitable for 'rejoin.

Also the above object/block would predefine 'set, 'prin, 'print and maybe
'system to mean other things.

Opinions?
