Semantic text via label/entity pairs

Install

npm i --save semtext-pairs_proto.2

Syntax

The syntax has two tokens:

1. entity: {{}}
2. label: ()

The label is only used together with an entity, like this: (label){{entity content}}. See demo/example-text.semtext

Parsed data

Originally parsed data

nearley.js parses the tokens into certain data structure, which, among other things has:

1. type: the name of the parsed token;
2. value: the parsed value

The type: text node has text property, which is ought to be used over value (e.g., it includes leading whitespace).

Processed data

In the postprocessing stage, I convert the parsed data into nodes. The nodes are either entity or text. The root node is always an entity.

Entity

1. label: originally parsed text
2. node: an array of nodes

Text

Originally parsed text

Use

import nearley from 'nearley'
import grammar from 'semtext-pairs_proto.2'

const parser = new nearley.Parser(nearley.Grammar.fromCompiled(grammar));
parser.feed("(article){{My blogpost content here}}")
const parsed = parser.results[0]
