    54== Core Features: == 
    6  
    75 1. BNF front-end (Parser, Lexer, Linker, etc.) 
    86 1. translates a textual representation into an Ecore model 
    97 1. Editor - provides IDE features, e.g. auto-completion, syntax highlighting, etc. 
    108 
    11  == Validation Rules: == 
    12  
     9== Validation Rules: == 
    1310These rules will give warnings in the editor if they find find consistencies in the code. 
    1411 
    15  1. ''__checkUpdateGrammarConsistency__:'' checks, if the grammar is an updated grammar, for consistencies between the originals and the new grammar  
    16   * status: not migrated 
     12 1. ''__checkUpdateGrammarConsistency__:'' checks, if the grammar is an updated grammar, for consistencies between the originals and the new grammar 
     13   * status: not migrated 
    1714 1. ''__checkReferencedOnlyOnce__:'' this should warn if there is a rule that is only referenced once, this is an inlining hint 
    18   * status: migrated 
    19  1. ''__checkPassthroughRule__:'' this tests if a rule gets just passed through, e.g. {{{a ::= b, b ::= "literal"}}} <=> {{{a ::= "literal"}}}, which is better for EBNF  
    20   * status: migrated 
    21  1. ''__checkEqualAlternative__:'' this tests if a rule got equal alternatives, e.g.: {{{a::= d | d}}} 
    22   * status: migrated 
    23  1. ''__checkDuplicateRules__:'' checks if there is another rule in the !EtsiBnf, that has the same right hand side, e.g.: {{{a ::= "literal" | b, c ::= "literal" | b }}} 
    24   * status: migrated 
     15   * status: migrated 
     16 1. ''__checkPassthroughRule__:'' this tests if a rule gets just passed through, e.g. `a ::= b, b ::= "literal"` <=> `a ::= "literal"`, which is better for EBNF 
     17   * status: migrated 
     18 1. ''__checkEqualAlternative__:'' this tests if a rule got equal alternatives, e.g.: `a::= d | d` 
     19   * status: migrated 
     20 1. ''__checkDuplicateRules__:'' checks if there is another rule in the !EtsiBnf, that has the same right hand side, e.g.: `a ::= "literal" | b, c ::= "literal" | b ` 
     21   * status: migrated 
    2522 1. ''__checkSubruleDuplicates__:'' 
    26   * status: not migrated 
     23   * status: not migrated 
    2724 1. ''__check unused rule__:'' checks if a rule is used (exept for the rule with the number 1) 
    28   * status: migrated 
    29  1. ''__checkNameIsUnique__:'' checks if the name of a rule is already in use e.g. {{{a ::= "end", a ::= "fin"}}} 
    30   * status: migrated 
     25   * status: migrated 
     26 1. ''__checkNameIsUnique__:'' checks if the name of a rule is already in use e.g. `a ::= "end", a ::= "fin"` 
     27   * status: migrated 
    3128 
    3229== Generation: == 
     30Generating an intermediate xsl-fo representation for all BNF grammars (merge or delta grammars not supported). This can be rendered to PDF using apache-fop

    5954== Grammar Composition: == 
    60  
    61   - 3 grammartypes: 
    62     - grammar: normal grammar  
    63     - delta grammar: different notation for a extension grammar, 
    64       - adds new rules to a grammar (regular rules) and adds changes to rules of the extended grammar (extension rules) (can be automatically created) 
    65     - merge grammar: for merging extensions 
    66   - old version had an automatic composition process for merge grammars with a small pop-up-menu.

     59   * merge grammar: for merging extensions 
     60 * old version had an automatic composition process for merge grammars with a small pop-up-menu. The new has 2 Buttons for Generating either PDF or RTF files from the Grammar.
