Description

Compiling to the syntax package would be nice. Free pretty PDFs for BNF and railroad diagrams. Should be easy to do if you study nearley-railroad.

Research direction
Study the nearley railroad module to understand how output generation works. Then implement a new module that generates LaTeX syntax for BNF and railroad diagrams using the 'syntax' package. Check existing output formats in the repository for structure. No linked PRs or assignees, so this is open for contribution.
