The Instantiation Debugger

The Instantiation Debugger is a view that shows the result of instantiating a dynamic grammar with a given context, in ABNF form (at run time on NuGram Server, a different format may be chosen, like GrXML or GSL):

Note that formatting may not be preserved during the instantiation process.

Inspection

The most powerful features of this view is the ability to inspect the relation between the generated elements of the resulting grammar and the corresponding elements in the source grammar.

For example, to see all the words of the generated grammar originating from a given word or @word directive in the source grammar, simply put the cursor on the element of the source grammar:

Conversely, put the cursor on a word (or tag) in the generated grammar highlights the element in the grammar that produced it:

Saving the grammar

The generated grammar can be saved to a file using the button on the right:
