I'm wondering aside from the line " Could be REBOL converting a REBOL tree also " what this post has to do with Rebol. This is not negative, I'm hoping the answer will be "Cause we're gonna make an xslt processor for Rebol!!" a dream of mine which unfortunately I have had no time to fulfill, not to say I've had time to get good at Rebol which would have to be step 1 of fulfilling my dream. I've looked at Leo and am thinking about supporting it's output format in our product(MediaMaxx) in the next couple of weeks, a description of MediaMaxx can be found at http://www.MediaMaxx.biz (this is Danish, English info at http://www.mediamaxx.biz/english/assembler.asp ) , more technical stuff can be found at http://www.mediamaxx.biz/english/technical/assembler.asp (am posting these links not to market but as a context reference) since our presentation level is controlled via xslt, and I am the one who writes the xslt I think it might be cool to do something together, if there is any discussion out there about what Leo should be able to do. MediaMaxx is in early beta stage.

But I think this is still an impressive example of how a functional language processor can take a complex trees structure and render it to XML/HTML In this case its XSLT converting a Leo file. Could be REBOL converting a REBOL tree also.. Jo Orr, who developed the above, made some interesting comments today about XSLT as a functional language. Naturally it also reinforces the role Rebol can play in this type of work. <quote http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=1694277> You can see from some of these samples included with Screenbook Maker BTW, that using XSLT to transform XML is far simpler and more elegant than any non-functional language solution. Another useful functional language is SQL. Not many would argue that SQL should be replaced with e.g. Python. So I wouldn't write XSLT off as a fad even if you are a Python wizard. The XSLT file I uploaded is unfortunately not an example of elegance, in fact I hardly understand it myself. But it *is* a lot shorter than it would be in a non-functional language. If we can get a nice package of XSLT stylesheets written, Leo could become a tool for creating outline format websites. </quote> He has a page of developing Leo/XSLT experiments: http://www.jserv.com/jk_orr/xml/leo.htm ./Jason -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" in the subject, without the quotes.
