You can use Rebol to generate Rebol's scripts or any other Languages. AskCodeGeneration.com (or AskCod.Com) will be a Community Repository for Code Generation Scripts. There are 2 ways to use these scripts: either type the full Command with do/args (see do/args tutorial) like this (Rebol Header Code Generator is taken as example):

do/args http://askcod.com/do "rebol/header"

Or Browse and select one of the Code Generator Scripts (the list will grow thanks to Writers when Community Section will open its door). Copy the Url, for example http://askcodegeneration.com/rebol/header/ which will generate a Rebol header script for you (if there is no url in clipboard, it should ask you one through).

Launch your Rebol's Console and type

do http://askcodegeneration.com/do

Optional: for optimal accessibility, download the acg protocol files: acg.r and acg.reg in c:customprotocol and execute acg.reg.

Then follow the instructions of the code generator. For example, in the case of http://askcodegeneration.com/rebol/header/, this will show you the screen with some fields that you have to fill to generate a Rebol's header automatically (see Rebol Tutorial's article on "The lazy way to generate Rebol’s header"):

After clicking Submit, the header has been be copied to clipboard and could then be pasted manually (the script doesn't do this yet! ) into the Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol Script Header:
