rail4latex's Introduction
README file for the Rail package, version 1.0 #1 The Rail package allows you to include syntax diagrams (also known as railroad diagrams) in a LaTeX document. A UNIX manual page and LaTeX documentation are included. The package consists of a LaTeX style file (rail.sty) and a C program (rail) and works in two passes not unlike BibTeX. Diagrams are specified in a regular-expression like format between \begin{rail} and \end{rail} brackets, and are formatted using the standard LaTeX picture environment. To use the package, you need a UNIX system with LaTeX. Actually, the rail program should be portable to non-UNIX systems, but you need lex and yacc (or compatible programs such as flex and bison) and a C compiler. No fancy ANSI C constructions are used, and the program passes lint quite silently. Caveat: To get diagrams in the documentation you must first compile the program. To compile, just type "make". Yacc will report 2 reduce/reduce conflicts; this is normal. To create rail.dvi (DVI version of rail.tex) and rail.txt (plain text version of rail.man) use "make doc". You can also use "make rail.dvi" or "make rail.txt" to create only one of them. To install, edit the Makefile to set up the various directories where things should be installed (BINDIR,TEXDIR,MANDIR,MANSUFFIX), then type the command "make install". To clean up, type "make clean". To create SHAR.* files, type "make shar". To create a TAR file, type "make tar". To lint everything, type "make lint" Besides the examples in rail.tex, there is another file with bizarre test cases, try.tex. This can be used as a regression test after modifications. As of version 1.0, the Rail package is available for Internet anonymous FTP from host phoibos.cs.kun.nl (131.174.81.1) in the directory pub/Rail. There is both a compressed and an uncompressed tar file, named rail.1.0.tar and rail.1.0.tar.Z, respectively. If you cannot use FTP, mail copies can be requested from the author of the package. Please report any bugs or improvements to me, and have fun. L.W.J. Rooijakkers University of Nijmegen The Netherlands E-mail: [email protected] Update history: 09-Oct-1990 L.
