It's look like XML parser... Suggestions: I'm worked with byacc/flex, but already forget his syntax. May be better to make DTD of your grammar more readable? Then, you can even write stylesheet for converting byacc grammar into your grammar. And use it with your parser - it's a good test. How about whitespaces? Unlike XML, text files need to recognize one or two CR/LF and apply different rules, etc... May be you can to produce one text from another (line formatting, adjusting, lists formatting, etc)? And later you can transmute it into Generator/Transformer (but you must produce SAX stream for right work, i think)... Happy hacking!
