With the projects that I am working on it has become more pressing that I get the Erlang Markup Language up and running in some form or fashion sooner rather then later. As it turns out I’m the current bottleneck when it comes to development and so I needed to get this part working.

I looked into implementing ERML into INETS and YAWS and choose to implement into INETS initially. Took me about a days worth of work to get the mod_erml module working with INETS, but most of that was figuring out how INETS needed the module to work.

Now that I have the mod_erml working I’m working on the actual markup language itself. I have a parser that is based in parsetools that I created a few months ago to break the original .erml files into tokens, so now I just need to expand the parser a bit and process the tokens.

Sounds simple enough, right? :-)

The parts that are needed the most and I haven’t figured how I want to implement are the decision tree functions and the loops. Most of the rest of ERML is pretty simple after I get those down.

If things go well, I’m hoping to release a broken buggy version of ERML in the first half of August, is anyone is interested please leave comments and I’ll put out more info on my progress :-)
