Syntax is a lexical analysis framework. It supports pluggable syntax
|
|
modules, and comes with modules for Ruby, XML, and YAML. It means you
|
|
can use Syntax to take a body of text representing instructions in
|
|
some syntax (like Ruby), and break that text into tokens. You could
|
|
conceivably use it to count the number of classes in a system, or the
|
|
number of lines of code per method. But Syntax was written
|
|
specifically with syntax highlighting in mind.
