CSS-Documentation for IDE-Usage

[Tom Schindl]

[resending because attached documents are too big :-(]

Hi,

Well for me the important thing is a meta format I can feed to my
IDE-Tooling which holds the following informations:
* property name
* validation information

I've been working on a long train drive 2 weeks ago on such a meta
format and translated fairly all informations found in the HTML-document
into my meta language (the grammer of the language is not yet able to
define all constructs in the document but we I'm not far way

I've developed this using xtext-framework
(http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/) which has the advantage that I also have
an editor with syntax highlighting, auto-completetion, ... in my Eclipse.

I'm not sure this is the same direction you are heading to - for me a
meta format be it XML, ... (I can easily provide you an
XML-Representation of the xtext-Spec I attached) is the important thing
I need to make my tooling cleverer.

The documents are:
* grammer: http://pastebin.com/qsbtuTa6
* css-def: http://pastebin.com/FpqGmUBg
