Bugs

Some versions of REBOL/view (beta) are unstable when browe or autobrowse is called!

REBOL version 1.3 fixed this issue

This is/was a REBOL bug, and is not a remark related problem.

Random crashes may happen, but one which seems to be very consistent, is the fact that you cannot hit the browse function more than 5 times within the same rebol session.

You may use the view 1.2.1 version and it should be more stable, but it might affect your capability to create more or less powerfull custom tags, with the missing functionality in earlier releases.

there is a config item which lets you revert to old-school REBOL layouts. Just set ui-btn: true in the global remark config, and you will be able to open remark in REBOL/view 1.2.1

Limitations

Output file names do not allow extensions other than html yet.

This feature is not yet implemented, so you will have to rename the output files manually for now.

This should be added if/when user demand is high, basically, this would allow you to export specific templated files as something else than html. One example being .rsp files.

Recently fixed :

these are no longer bugs, hurray!

RTAGS expecting data need a trailing space after tag name

Be carefull to add a blank space before adding a new line, if nothing follows an rtag label.

ex:
  <ul!_< THERE must be a space here
    <li! one>
    <li! two>
    <li! three>
  >

Otherwise the tag is not recognized. This in an internal limitation of the tag parser, and it applies to all tags which expect data within its tag brackets. The issue is too small a thing to have been placed under much scrutiny... There are much more important things to accomplish before ironing out such easily worked around limitations.

Some file editors may have an option to automatically truncate trailing spaces!. In this case, you should set this option to false, otherwise rtags will never be recognised.

A work around for the trailing spaces issue is to at least supply some of the expected data on the same line, as follows:

ex:
  <ul! <<Font color="BLUE"><>><li! one>
    <li! two>
    <li! three>
  >
