Abstract
This work concerns the generation of language specific editors which retain all text oriented editing commands. Our technique is to translate a language specification based on ambiguous regular right part grammars into an incremental LALR(1,1) parser. Strongly non-circular attribute grammars are adapted to regular right part grammars for static semantic processing. Finally, attribute grammars are extended with external data structures which improve the performance of the editor in some important instances and provide a framework for interaction between the attributed tree and the programming environment.
