Here's part of the comment header of the HTML grammar to be found at:


        http://www.sand-stone.com/


// This is an HTML rule file for use with Visual Parse++. It should parse
// just about any HTML file, even ones with errors, ommisions, etc. The
// rule file recogizes all the HTML 3.0 tags, and any others we ran across
// while testing.
//
// It also recoginzes unknown tags, parameters, and attributes, so you can
// handle the action in your code (or add to this rule file).


Their demo version comes with the grammars for HTML, cpp, c, RTF, SQL,
the C preprocessor, Java, and a calculator.
