http://marvin.cs.uidaho.edu/Teaching/CS445/grammar.htm— that is. Very
gentle and informal, but dense and informative, covering (E)BNF,
precedence, associativity, ambiguity, tips for grammar writing and useful
examples.

What I find both useful and amusing:

(1) the grammar syntax is nearly SLIF, sans the angle brackets; so

(1a) examples can be fed to Marpa::R2::Scanless::G almost as they are; but

(1b) 'grammar' is not described as a thing that can be used easily to
'parse', e.g.:

A grammar is used to specify the syntax of a language. It answers the
> question: What sentences are in the language and what are not?


*Parse *is to show how a sentence could be built from a grammar


A sure sign of pre-Marpa days when grammar were written mostly as a
specification for humans, as was frequently discussed in this group.
