The grammar has terms like “string” where I don’t know if this means the literal term “string” or a string literal. It would be nicer to have a grammar where the literal term “string” is in code-case and a string literal is described by “string” in italics. I have worked on rewriting the match match grammar as @example and as @table. Does either of these look better to you? See the PDF attached. I am willing to complete the whole mess in another format, but I need to know which one is preferred, if any, and someone has to verify that the new grammar specification is accurate.

Would you mind attaching a .texi diff? I am having trouble getting context here. Thanks :) Andy ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
