RetroWeb is an extension of RetroForth for creating XHTML documents.It features a readable and elegant Lisp-like syntax to ease writing XHTML.It is quite small, very extensible and gives you the full power of Forth when you need it.
(xhtml or (br) with 1.3 you should use ( xhtml or ( br )(http)is now called http, since it is not an element. (valid) for including the W3C validation icon. retroweb.conf retroweb.htaccess works: copy it to the base RetroWeb directory and rename it to .htaccess. /bin/sh on your machine, replace the first lines of the supplied shell
files with an approprate shell
Currently there are two main sources of documentation available.
First and foremost take a look at the file .head, where the
dictionary of RetroForth is augmented by a few words, many of them intended
only for internal use. RetroWeb in "action" can be studied in the
source of this page, a file called index.rw.
Finally you can write HTML code using a Lispy syntax. A string stack (20 elements deep) keeps track of open HTML tags and closes them in the correct sequence. Additional spaces allow a straightforward implementation of the parser and improve readability quite a bit.
You can create abbreviations to save typing on your favourite attributes: Instead of
a' id="a1"' ( ... )
you can use either of the following methods:
" a1" >id ( ... ) id: a1 ( ... )
The same setup is available for the attribute class.
Attribute values can be up to 20 characters.
