The Problem

The problem is to:

  1. Find all the constructs that are used in writing a <target>.md file,
  2. Specify their syntax structure, and
  3. Write a parser in yacc/bison.
  4. Perhaps, enable syntax directed editing of the MD file. This will require separating the organisational contents (eg. pointer the next node) from the semantic contents (eg. the data contained in a node). Some preliminary semantic checks may also be possible.

We refer to this RTL as the md RTL.
