Project: Coding your own HTML language in C

Code your own html language in C and apply these techniques to any language; Alexa transforms code to tokens, then the html parser interprets the language under a defined grammar.

Start a new project to create html and css, build a console-based gui for c apps, and implement an html lexer to parse tags into tokens.

Create a custom HTML language in C by defining token types (text, tag start, tag end, self closed), building constructors and show functions, and parsing token streams for a parser.

Define and implement a simple garbage collector in C by building a dynamic array, managing allocations with malloc and realloc, and freeing token contents.

Episode four outlines preparing the HTML lexer in C, showing token copying, a memory copy utility, and a token get function with garbage collection to enable lexical analysis.

Implement an html lexer in c for the Edgehtml project, building token types, a cons function, and a garbage-collected token list to parse html text and tags.

Prepare the HTML parser by designing a stack-based token workflow, using push and alternative pop to handle nested tags, and wire a parser module in C with parser.c and parser.h.

Continue building the html parser in c by implementing a pop on the stack of html tags. Update the stack length, return a matching token, and enable garbage collection.

Define the language grammar in bnf to specify production rules for a minimal html with document, head containing title, and body with tag and text tokens.

Develop a stack-based parsing function for a custom HTML language in C, using tokens, start tag detection, and a recursive parse loop to validate open tags.
