 [section Introduction]
 
-Boost Spirit is an object-oriented, recursive-descent parser and output generation
-library for C++. It allows you to write grammars and format descriptions using a
-format similar to EBNF (Extended Backus Naur Form, see __ebnf_intro__) directly in
-C++. These inline grammar specifications can mix freely with other C++ code and,
-thanks to the generative power of C++ templates, are immediately executable.
-In retrospect, conventional compiler-compilers or parser-generators have to
-perform an additional translation step from the source EBNF code to C or C++
-code.

 The syntax and semantics of the libraries' API directly form domain-specific
 embedded languages (DSEL). In fact, Spirit exposes 3 different DSELs to the
