In my quest for making speech friendly applications, I've developed a
very simple domain specific language/notation that works well. I'm using
parsley which is a great tool for writing parsers especially simple ones
like the one I need. However, I've come across a problem that I don't
know how to solve.
Below is my grammar. The problem is the last element which aggregates
all individual grammar elements. In my domain specific notation, it's
possible for a user to create extensions and I'm trying to figure out
how to make the grammar accommodate those extensions.
The first Issue is adding more statements. I can handle that easy enough
by splitting the existing grammar into a prefix, statements, and
postfix. I could append more statements to the end of the statement
section. When I'm done, I can then join all of the pieces together into
a single grammar.
The second issue is adding more elements between parentheses of bot so
the additional statements can be included in the grammar. Seems to me, I
should be able to create a Python expression which returns the OR list
and it is interpreted as part of the grammar. Failing that, I'm just
going to do a %s expansion when I create the grammar.
I appreciate any insight before I go too far off track.
