Thanks for all the hard work on your exporter and the rewrite! I look
forward to looking at it more closely very soon.
In the meantime, does anyone have advice on how to start creating a
formal syntax definition for org-mode? Any good links or resources we
might check out?
I'm guessing that writing a formal definition is more complex than
simply defining org-mode syntax in prose---that we are after something a
little more formal and symbolic than "a headline is demarcated by one or
more asterisks beginning at column 0 of a new line...." Is that correct?
Best,
Matt
