This presents an informal EBNF grammar that can be used to validate the structure of Content Markup.
J#PCDATA
denotes XML parsed character data.
[1] | Presentation_tags |
::= | "presentation" |
/* placeholder */ |
[2] | Space |
::= | #x09 | #x0A | #x0D | #x20 |
/* tab, lf, cr, space characters */ |
[3] | S |
::= | (Space | Presentation_tags")* |
/* treat presentation as space */ |
[4] | Char |
::= | #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] |
/* valid XML chars */ |
start(ci) ::= "<ci>" end(cn) ::= "</cn>" empty(plus) ::= "<plus/>"
The reason for doing this is to avoid writing a grammar for all the attributes. The model below is not complete for all possible attribute values.
[5] | _start(\%x) |
::= | "<\%x" (Char - '>')* ">" |
/* returns a valid start tag for the element \%x */ |
[6] | _end(\%x) |
::= | "<\%x" Space* ">" |
/* returns a valid end tag for the element \%x */ |
[7] | _empty(\%x) |
::= | "<\%x" (Char - '>')* "/>" |
/* returns a valid empty tag for the element \%x */ |
[8] | _sg(\%x) |
::= | S _start(\%x) |
/* start tag preceded by optional whitespace */ |
[9] | _eg(\%x) |
::= | _end(\%x) S |
/* end tag followed by optional whitespace */ |
[10] | _ey(\%x) |
::= | S _empty(\%x) S |
/* empty tag preceded and followed by optional whitespace */ |

condition
- constraints.
constraints contains either a single reln
(relation), or
an apply holding a logical combination of relations, or
a set (over which the operator should be applied).

is used in place of the deprecated reln
in MathML2.0
for relational operators as well as arithmetic, algebraic etc.

Equations and relations - reln
uses lisp-like syntax (like apply
)
the bvar
and condition
elements are used to construct a "such that" or
"where" constraint on the relation.
Note that reln
is deprecated but still valid in MathML2.0.
