html-ish tag parsing. yes good.
html tags in rebol are very derp. it's basically just another block but uses <> instead of []. i'm not sure how they handle opening and closing tags over there but it doesn't understand open and close tags unless you specifically check for them.
i put in checks so it understands </...> and <.../> but otherwise it doesn't understand true html so <blobcat meow=loud/> is technically a block [blobcat meow=loud] but that's how rebol do

What even is this? It looks like a weird blend between a data/markup language and a programming language.
@xianc78 it's some glorious alien artifact made by the guy who wrote amiga os
@icedquinn Amiga was basically already dead by the time I was born. All my life it has been either Windows, MacOS, or Linux.
@icedquinn But just from skimming through the example code, I can see this could've been used as an educational tool in some alternate timeline.
@xianc78 its an alternate world version of lisp yeah. has never heard of ahead of time compiling and the syntax is considerably hostile to it.
well. since it was made 20 years ago we learned some new tricks though.
