JC

Thanks for your work, J-Isis is a very advanced documentation software, 
there are not many of this kind

Now, between J-Isis and the new release of ABCD, we have a lot of work to do

> The most significant improvements are the following:

> 1. New J-ISIS Print Formatting Language Parser
>
> The parser analyzes the phrase structure ofa J-ISIS Print Format 
> (PFT). Two of the most useful abstractions used in modern compilers 
> are /context free grammars/, for parsing, and /regular expressions/, 
> for lexical analysis. To make the best use of these abstractions it is 
> helpful to have special tools, such as /Yacc /(which converts a 
> grammar into a parsing program) and /Lex /(which converts a 
> declarative specification into a lexical-analysis program).
> For historical reasons, until now J-ISIS was using JFlex and JavaCup 
> <http://www.cs.princeton.edu/%7Eappel/modern/java/CUP/>[1] <#_ftn1> to 
> produce the parser, but it turns out that JavaCup is not anymore 
> maintained and that JavaCup limit was reached when adding new CISIS 
> functions.
>
> Thus, it was decided to use JavaCC <http://javacc.java.net/> parser 
> generator which is maintained regularly, includes lexical analysis and 
> can also generate C/C++ code.
>
> The J-ISIS formatting language follows CDS/ISIS formatting language 
> syntax with some minor exceptions. But the main difference is that the 
> output produced by a interpreting a format is displayed as HTML in the 
> J-ISIS embedded browser or written on a file as HTMLin PrintSort 
> module while it could also be printed as plain text. Thus allowing 
> output of XML or CSV data.

> 9. New Encoding when importing/Exporting:UNIMARC (ISO-5426 & ISO-6937)

> 10.Many bug fixes, enhancements and speed improvements.

>
> The J-ISIS Reference Manual contains a very detailed chapter on J-ISIS 
> Print Format empowered with the new Web technologies and Groovy as
