%Here's one I threw together for my own use.  It does EBNF, in LaTeX, in
%the style I like - catagory names italicized in angle brackets, and
%`::=' introducing productions.
% 
%Example of use:
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
%Generally glue is quoted using this notation~\TBcite[\p271]:
%\begin{EBNF}
%    \item[glue]
%	\<dimen> [~`plus' \<stretch>~] [~`minus' \<stretch>~].
%    \item[stretch]
%	\<dimen> | \<fil dimen>.
%    \item[fil dimen] 
%	\<factor> (~`fil' | `fill' | `filll'~).
%\end{EBNF}
%A \<stretch> which is a \<dimen> ...
%------------------------------------------------------------------------
% 
%This is "list" environment in the style of "description" etc (Sec. 5.7).
%Thus, productions start with 
% 
%	\item[LHS]
%  
%which produces   
% 
%	<LHS> ::=
% 
%in the document.  (This was so I can alter the ::= to something else if
%I really want to.)  Each production is in LR (horizontal) mode.  The
%whole thing is indented to \parindent, with turnover lines indented a
%further 2 em.
% 
%`|' produces a vertical line.  
% 
%\<FOO> or \Cat{FOO} produces <FOO>, with FOO italicized.  
% 
%You might prefer  {\tt plus}  instead of  `plus'  etc.
% 
% 
%Here's the code:
