LL parsers have their limitations though but like I said: I don&#39;t think it&#39;s impossible, just difficult and messy.<br /><br />PEG at least seems to solve the precedence problems (the order they appear is the precedence) and it still may be worth investigating but the hand-coded lexer is coming along quite nicely.William Shieldshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18356811199950883367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336308386934546555.post-45764359405076454132010-01-11T19:49:43.814+08:002010-01-11T19:49:43.814+08:00A bit of a shame that an existing parser generator such as ANTLR does not appear to be sufficient. How cool would it be to be generating a markdown parser in java, javascript, c#, etc all from the same grammar?<br /><br />E.Evannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336308386934546555.post-14808153441267718782010-01-11T18:33:15.286+08:002010-01-11T18:33:15.286+08:00You could try jmeta: http://github.com/onnlucky/jmeta or rats!
