Re: context manuals sources

["Charles P. Schaum" <verbo.solo@sbcglobal.net>]

In a parser, a piece of code that interprets a set of structured rules
(grammar) from a (partially or fully) tokenized input stream from the
lexical analyzer at the front end, LHS is something on the left hand
side of an equation or term (thus, on the left-hand parse tree) and RHS
is on the right hand side.

There are free sources out there to find stuff on parsing so you don't
have to go and buy the Dragon book (Aho, Sethi, Ullmann), which I
nevertheless consider a vade mecum. You will find links to such
documentation under the computer -> reference category at:

Best wishes, and welcome to the world of artificial languages.
