A way of writing down grammars (syntax) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backus%E2%80%93Naur_Form However, TeX and its related languages (such as PMX) are more usually geared towards stream/stack parsers rather than LR(1) grammars. > > > way to specify that, resembling the PMX > > quick reference card, but failed.

Look at how long a competitive programming IDE took to appear in the open source world... If you just want syntax highlighting and a certain level of syntax checking, why not use an editor which allows you to tailor the syntax highlighting (e.g. Vim, Emacs, ...). You'll never want to see a regular expression again by the end of writing a Vim or Emacs syntax module but it's not as hairy as it sounds (and there are literally hundreds of syntax files already written to use as starting points).
