Package Information

Description:

Major mode for editing programming language descriptions in the style used by the Algol 68 Revised Report. The syntax of the language is expressed formally using a van-Wijngaarden grammar, also known as VW-grammars or two-level grammars. These grammars have the same expression power than a Turing machine, and can therefore cover much more than the usual BNF-style representations which are restricted to what can be expressed by context-free grammars. Pragmatic annotations and cross-references complement the grammar rules, which are organized in numbered sections.
