HELP: Approaches to writing programs which write sentences in a grammar

Suppose I have some objects which represent an entity-relationship
model and a grammar for describing ER models. How do I turn my OO
representation of the ER model into a sentence describing the model in
my ER grammar?


The way I think of this is as the reverse of a parser. As there are
standard approaches to writing parsers like lex and yacc I was
wondering if there are similar approaches to writing programs which
can generate sentences conforming to a grammar.

a grammar. Sounds hard. -John]
