   3 This directory contains data needed by Bison.

   5 * Skeletons
   6 Bison skeletons: the general shapes of the different parser kinds,
   7 that are specialized for specific grammars by the bison program.
   8
   9 Currently, the supported skeletons are:
  10
  11 - yacc.c
  12   It used to be named bison.simple: it corresponds to C Yacc
  13   compatible LALR(1) parsers.
  14
  15 - lalr1.cc
  16   Produces a C++ parser class.
  17
  18 - lalr1.java
  19   Produces a Java parser class.
  20
  21 - glr.c
  22   A Generalized LR C parser based on Bison's LALR(1) tables.
  23
  24 - glr.cc
  25   A Generalized LR C++ parser.  Actually a C++ wrapper around glr.c.
  26
  27 These skeletons are the only ones supported by the Bison team.
  28 Because the interface between skeletons and the bison program is not
  29 finished, *we are not bound to it*.  In particular, Bison is not
  30 mature enough for us to consider that ``foreign skeletons'' are
  31 supported.
  32
  33 * m4sugar
  34 This directory contains M4sugar, sort of an extended library for M4,
  35 which is used by Bison to instantiate the skeletons.
  36
  37 * xslt
  38 This directory contains XSLT programs that transform Bison's XML output
  39 into various formats.
  40
  41 - bison.xsl
  42   A library of routines used by the other XSLT programs.
  43
  44 - xml2dot.xsl
  45   Conversion into GraphViz's dot format.
  46
  47 - xml2text.xsl
  48   Conversion into text.
  49
  50 - xml2xhtml.xsl
  51   Conversion into XHTML.
