[GoLUG] [parse] My first stab at Backus-Naur Form

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

I'm trying to form a Backus-Naur form for my Stylz authoring language.
Stylz is simply a text file with paragraphs separated by one or more
blank lines and interspersed with various tokens to grant various
document constructs and styles. It will be constructed for fast
authoring, with all tokens required to be lower case plus punctuation.
So far I have:

<doc> ::= | <chunk> | <doc> <chunk>
<chunk> ::= <par> | <div> | <pre> | <toc> | <idx> | <bib> | <img> | <vid> | <link> | <ref> 

<par> ::= | <link> <par> | <image> <par> | <span> <par> | <token> <par> | <text> <par> | <text>

Well, that's enough for tonight.
