-</p><h2>What is GF?</h2>
-
-The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type
-theory. It consists of
-<ul>
- <li> a special-purpose programming language
- </li><li> a compiler of the language
- </li><li> a generic grammar processor
-</li></ul>
-The compiler reads
-GF grammars from user-provided files,
-and the generic grammar processor performs
-various tasks with the grammars:
-<ul>
- <li> generation
- </li><li> parsing
- </li><li> translation
- </li><li> type checking
- </li><li> computation
- </li><li> paraphrasing
- </li><li> random and exhaustive generation
- </li><li> syntax editing
-</li></ul>
-GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
-<ul>
- <li> multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
- </li><li> semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
- properties of expressions)
- <li> modularity and grammar engineering
- <li> reuse of grammars in different formats and as software components
-</ul>
-GF provides an easy way to experiment with grammars written in
-different formats, including the ubiquitous BNF and EBNF formats.
-The <a href="doc/gf-compiler.png">GF compilation chart</a> gives a
-summary of the supported input and output formats (the nodes in ellipses).
-
-<br>
-
-For instance, if you want to create a finite-state automaton
-in the HTK SLF format (to use for speech recognition), all you have to do
-is to write an EBNF grammar in a file <tt>foo.ebnf</tt> and type
-<pre>
- echo "pg -printer=slf" | gf foo.ebnf
-</pre>
