GUIDELINES FOR WRITING A flex(1) SCANNER FOR SIMPLE XML FORMATS.
We know how to handle the following DTD element declarations.
1. "Leaf" elements with the declarations
<!ELEMENT tag EMPTY>
<!ELEMENT tag (#PCDATA)>
Start conditions:
%x AL_tag
Rules:
"<tag"{s}"/>" STag(tag), ETag(tag);
"<tag"{s}">" STag(tag), ENTER(PCDATA);
"<tag"{S} STag(tag), ENTER(AL_tag);
<AL_tag>"/>" LEAVE, Etag(tag);
<AL_tag>">" LEAVE, ENTER(PCDATA);
<PCDATA>"</tag"{s}">" Etag(tag), LEAVE;
Handlers:
STag_tag(void) {...}
ETag_tag(char* pcdata) {...}
2. "Logical" elements with unordered element contents using the declaration
<!ELEMENT tag (tag1|tag2|...|tagn)*>
Start conditions:
%x AL_tag
%x IN_tag
Rules:
"<tag"{s}"/>" STag(tag), ETag(tag);
"<tag"{s}">" STag(tag), ENTER(IN_tag);
"<tag"{S} STag(tag), ENTER(AL_tag);
<AL_tag>"/>" LEAVE, Etag(tag);
<AL_tag>">" BEGIN(IN_tag);
<IN_tag>"</tag"{s}">" Etag(tag);
Handlers:
STag_tag(void) {...}
ETag_tag(char* pcdata) {...}
3. "Attribute" declarations of the form
<!ATTLIST tag attribute CDATA>
Rule:
<AL_tag>"attribute"{Eq}{Q} Attribute(tag,attribute);
Handler:
Attribute_tag_attribute(char* value) {...}
That's all, for the moment.
Note: the scanner can be made (more) validating by using the <IN_tag>
condition in front of all the rules in tag1...tagn and give the
top-level rules the start condition INITIAL.
