Any chance of tossing it on github?

<= div>=A0The whole parser thing has been in a constant flux of change, and I&= #39;ve felt putting it on a public site would have required too much effort= documenting it at this stage. Besides, most people interested in it are on= the Lojban list and know where to get it from just as easily.

Are You okay if One of U= s does puts it up there?

Well, if you = really want to. Just label it *very* prominently as alpha quality only and = not yet guaranteed to match the "official" version of the languag= e. There is a newer program version on my site, something like alpha 9, wit= h some more bugs removed and a few improvements like rafsi look-up, default= parameter values defined in a separate file (lllp_params.lua) and within i= ndividual lojban file parameter settings. READ the defaults file and experi= ment with the settings to tailor the default output to your liking. Deviati= ons from the default can be added even to individual text blocks in a lojba= n file - almost everything can be changed.

There are no helpful error messages as the parser just = stops at the last still grammatical position, which sometimes may be quite = far from the actual error position. =A0Unless the error is =A0quite evident= , a multi-sentence block can be split at every permissible ni'o and .i,= i.e., at those which don't split a bracketed structure (the brackets c= an, of course, be commented out.) =A0Problematic sentences can then be edit= ed and parsed if necessary to pinpoint the error - either in the sentence o= r in the alpha quality parser.

I'd like someone to provide either a lua 5.1.4 or l= uajit2 binary for Windows and Mac, and an lpeg.dll (I have also uploaded to= my site a patched source for a luajit with built-in LPeg (luajit_lpeg.tgz)= , which avoids the need for the separate DLL. This source should compile on= all the supported platforms, but I've been able to test it on linux on= ly. The luajit source is newer than the latest published source version on = the luajit site but not quite up to the latest GIT head.)

NB. this parser is just an interim version as some of t= he present technical solutions within it prevent me from doing all the thin= gs I'd like to do with it. My experiments with "the mad proposals&= quot; have helped a lot in finding out the requirements for a flexible foun= dation which allows adding features relatively easily without wrecking the = basic parser PEG. =A0However, I'll now have to push the development asi= de for the rest of July and can most likely concentrate on it only after Au= gust 10.=A0

Comments, feature requests and (at this stage) error re= ports are welcome. I'll try to read mail daily even during the next few= weeks devoted to non-lojban matters.
