Racc Tutorial
I’ve done a bit of looking at Racc, a compiler-compiler for Ruby. (It’s vaguely like Yacc, although the syntax is different.)
Unfortunately, Racc has no documentation to speak of. But someone named CMills has put together a PowerPoint introduction to writing parsers in Ruby and Racc (38k download, .tar.gz format). Sketchy but good. I didn’t understand all the slides, but it’s the best Racc documentation I’ve found so far.

finally!
Thank you for pointing this out. It’s kind of sad, that these great tools are treated worse like criminals from the documentation point of view.
Cheers
