However, I'm able to express the bnf, but I can't figure out how to connect the description (several line paragraph) to the right-hand side. Also, the example has a <nonterminal def="xxxx"> where xxxx ends up as a a *hard* file link. How do I use that? Rendered output might be HTML or PDF, so how would we know filename at this point? Or is that a style sheet issue? The paragraphs in my requirements example were interspersed with each bnf rhs definition. How can I retain that clarity for the reader such that each element definition is associated with a particular bnf term? Breakup the equation into multiple <productionset> with interspersed <para> ? BTW: PSGML seems to be brain dead regarding EBNF :( Heads-up, is someone looking at that? -- Jeffrey L. Franks (Web) http://www.motiftools.org (Mail) jfranks@quik.com
