Does anyone know of an EBNF equivelant for describing bitstreams. I'm asking since I've recently switched to EBNF for describing my syntactic blocks, I've saved lots of time, especially since I can now generate railroad diagrams automatically from my EBNF (Before I read about EBNF, I didn't even know of railroad diagrams). I love the use of EBNF in a refsynopsisdiv.
I'm asking this in this list because noone else, anwhere else seems to know, and I thought: Heck, if someone knows it, it must be one of those fanatics trying to write semantically correct mark-up. I've searched the web for hours and spend additional hours browsing dir.google.com, which makes me just as happy with an answer which tells me that there just isn't a standard method to do what I want to do. If there's not some meta-language to describe bitstreams, I'd appreciate any pointers on how to mark up this type of information in DocBook. The smallest bitstream blocks which I need to describe are one bit in size; I think that rules out EBNF. Thanks in advance for any sound advice and suggestions, - Rowan van der Molen -- Humbly they tried Their faces fried Burned by sunshine Doing just fine
