+<h2>Run-time grammars and web applications</h2>

+GF has its own "machine language", PGF (Portable Grammar Format),
+which is recommended for use in applications at run time. To produce a PGF file from
+the two grammars above, do
+<pre>
+ gf -make FoodIta.gf FoodEng.gf
+ wrote Food.pgf
+</pre>
+You can use this in Haskell and Java programs, and also on web services, as shown in
+<a href="http://www.grammaticalframework.org:41296/minibar/minibar.html">here</a>.
+To build your own web application, consult the
