See the hyperlinked BNF here.

• README.md: this file
• bnf.xml: C grammar description in valid XML (according to bnf.xsd)
• bnf.xsd: XML Schema used to validate the grammar described in bnf.xml
• html.xsl: XSLT style sheet to render the hyperlinked grammar to HTML

From the technical perspective you should grasp the following concepts:

• XML
• XML Schema
• XSL Transformation

Given the knowledge above, you should be able to:

• update the XML representation of the BNF (bnf.xml)
• validate it using the provided XML Schema definition (bnf.xsd)
• transform it to HTML using the provided XSL Transformation to HTML (html.xsl)

On a Debian system you can validate bnf.xml using xmllint:

  xmllint --schema bnf.xsd bnf.xml --noout

If you plan to contribute to this project, it is assumed that you are able to map the command above to any other operating system and platform.

On a Debian system you can transform bnf.xml to HTML using xsltproc:

  xsltproc -o bnf.html html.xsl bnf.xml

The command above generates the HTML representation of this BNF into file bnf.html. If you plan to contribute to this project, it is assumed that you are able to map the command above to any other operating system and platform.

See bnf.xsd and the comments therein.
