I hate to answer a tool question by suggesting a different tool, but
Antlr has a pretty slick mechanism for letting you specify the two
different parts of the file as separate languages and composing
them. It also has a special pass through mode that is sort of like
"parse everything that matches this grammar and pass everything else
through."


See www.antlr.org , especially http://www.antlr.org/doc/streams.html
and the HTML grammar at http://www.antlr.org/grammars/HTML/ .


On the other hand, this particular problem is not hard to solve using the
lex/yacc technique the moderator already described.
