[antlr-interest] Grammar file for HTML template

[Jun Lu]

Hi,

I am thinking to start an open source project of PhpBB Java clone. I
want to take advantage of the available PhpBB templates, languages and
images.

One problem is how to convert phpBB templates into some form of Java
or JSP. A sample template (tpl file) is attached below.

There are 3 patterns I need to deal with.
1. variables: {[A-Z_]+}  : replaced with a bean property
2. loop: <!-- BEGIN [a-z_]+_rows --> ....   <!-- END [a-z_]+_rows -->
: replaced with array of beans
3. condition:    <!-- BEGIN switch_[a-z_]+ --> ...   <!-- END
switch_[a-z_]+ --> : replaced with "if (..)"

I am new to Antlr. I am not sure if this makes sense.

Can anyone help me find a sample grammar file of this kind so I can
continue to work on?

Any opinions on would be appreciated.

Mao
