     4 This is a little tool to generate lexical scanners from a rather simplistic
       
     5 configuration file. We use it internally in Qt to generate the scanner for the
       
     6 CSS parser that is built into the toolkit (used for the widget styling and the
       
     7 HTML import into QTextDocument).

     9 Beware, it's very slow (in generating the code) and it may not generate what
       
    10 you want. But I like that it generates code that operates on QChar and friends.
