[comp.text.sgml] LL

Hi there, I am wondering if there happens to be a LL(1) grammar description
of the SGML language. If so, pointers to refs are *very* appreciated.

thanx in advance

Jos

The Amsterdam SGML Parser uses an LL(1) parser generator, notably LLgen,
for both DTD and document parsing.
Actually, SGML is not LL(1), but we used the `conflict resolvers' from
LLgen to overcome the problems we came across.

I am one of the authors of this parser, but since I have left the university
where it was made someone else can answer your questions about availability.

The responsible person at the Vrije Universiteit is:
