+Lexgen
+------
+
+This is a little tool to generate lexical scanners from a rather simplistic
+configuration file. We use it internally in Qt to generate the scanner for the
+CSS parser that is built into the toolkit (used for the widget styling and the
+HTML import into QTextDocument).
+
+Beware, it's very slow (in generating the code) and it may not generate what
+you want. But I like that it generates code that operates on QChar and friends.
+
+Use at your own risk ;-)
