Subject: BNF presentation of Pandoc AST, anybody?
Date: Sun, 25 Apr 2021 11:19:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F6BC311-C472-4F2E-8092-4FB10D50A279@mac.com> (raw)

Does anybody have a BNF-style grammar that presents
the AST structure of Text.Pandoc.Definition.Pandoc?

Something generally like:

Pandoc = Meta (Block)*
Meta = (Text  → MetaValue)*
MetaValue = MetaMap | MetaList | MetaBool | MetaString | MetaInlines |MetaBlocks
MetaMap = (Text  → MetaValue)*
MetaList = (MetaValue)*
MetaBool = Bool
MetaString = Text
MetaInlines = (Inline)*
MetaBlocks = (Block)*
Block = …

and so on.  Each producti0n is a data constructor application.
Basic stuff like Map and List would get their own BNF-style
syntax.

Or maybe a railway graph?  I started to make a cheat-sheet,
but surely such a thing has already been done.

TIA,
— John

P.S. Also, someone has surely written an interpreter,
maybe a framework, that starts something like this:

```{.lua-exec #thatOne}
return 42
```
neutral content
```{.lua-exec #thisOne}
print(thatOne)
```

Any hints on where such a thing might be?
