[Haskell-cafe] Re: hyperlinked haskell 98 grammar

Hi Neil, For haskell-cafe members: This is what we are talking about: http://www.hck.sk/users/peter/ I'm glad somebody liked it. I do not understand what you mean by the extension request. Would you want to see the number of references of a production head even without opening the popup list box? If you meant that the pop-up list box should always display all backward links directly (without a scroll bar) then it would not work for a very big number of such links (in theory there can be hundreds there). If you do not like the default of 5 then change the nMaxRowCount "constant". Anyway, if it is complicated to describe, let it be. I do not expect to play with the java script code much. Only the most trivial things have a chance to be implemented by me. I have written the java script code few years ago and I do not really like java script ... Just wanted to give back something to the community - so I added the Haskell specific data. As for as putting it on the Haskell org I do not mind if somebody else does it. Although I'm not that sure if it would require license change. If I would believe giving it into public domain would make more grammars browsable like this one then I would do it. I do not really expect heavy loads. From my experience most language users never ever look at the grammar nor they care about it. And those who consult it a lot will take a local copy and tweak it anyway. Looking at the munin server loads, looks like you and Esa are the only ones who actually checked it out :-D Anyway, sending this to haskell cafe too (as recommended). I expect a discussion (if any) will continue there. Sorry about GHC user list abuse. Peter Hercek. Neil Mitchell wrote:

Hi

In addition, perhaps this should be relocated to haskell.org, if your server is not suitable for a large volume of users. I think it should also be integrated somewhere (perhaps a link from the HTML report, and certainly on the wiki)

Thanks

Hi Peter,

A nice application. One suggestion: I would have implemented it so that a maximum on one backward hyperlink menu could be visible at once - try clicking on two RHS's and you'll get too "menus" visible at the same time.

You also might want to mail this out on haskell-cafe - which is more appropriate for "general haskell" things, ghc-users is more for direct issues with GHC (although haskell-cafe can also be used for those)

Thanks

Neil

Hi,

I was improving my Haskell knowledge lately and I created a small dhtml application which allows browsing of Haskell 98 grammar. I contains both forward and backward hyperlinks. By backward hyperlink I mean that you can click on an a production head and you get a popup list box where you can navigate to any production using the nonterminal. If you like it please save and use your local copy since the server cannot handle much load.
