Summary description: A simple package to format Backus-Naur form (BNF)
Announcement text:
The new `bnf` environment provides a more flexible environment to typeset BNF grammars, without sacrificing the simple DSL used for the (now deprecated) `bnfgrammar` environment. This new version provides 1. a DSL more tolerable than the previous version, e.g., it now accepts trailing delimiters (`;;`), leading alternative delimiter (`|`), etc; 2. flexible configuration, e.g., custom delimiters and symbols; 3. more helpful error/warning messages; 4. the backend as the `tabularray` package; and 5. (hopefully) a more descriptive manual.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/simplebnf The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/simplebnf/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

simplebnf – A simple package to format Backus-Naur form (BNF)
This package provides a simple way for typesetting grammars in Backus-Naur form (BNF). The included bnf environment parses BNF expressions (possibly annotated), so users can write readable BNF expressions in their documents. It features a flexible configuration system, allowing for the customization of the domain-specific language (DSL) used in typesetting the grammar. Additionally, the package comes with sensible defaults.
The package requires expl3, xparse, mathtools, and tabularray..
