(?_?) I didn't write any HTML...

OK, that's fine. As long as the grammar in the generator-expected format exists, I can manage that. Maybe some semantics would be questioned if I don't understand it from the interpreter code.

OK, got that.

Do avoid HTML (formatting) and top-posting in your email responses if
possible.

I'm not exactly sure if you're expecting a document detailing the
syntax tree. It doesn't exist yet, but perhaps it should be written. I
pointed you to the parser source, because I think that's the only
formal "specification" of the Octave language that exists.

You should start with the default branch in hg (there is no notion of
"trunk" in most DVCSes). At the moment, it doesn't differ considerably
from 3.4.0, but of course that will change over time. And your
development shouldn't target the stable branch.
