Description:	Eli is a fully integrated environment for the automatic generation of processors of structured text. It transparently utilises off-the-shelf tools and libraries with specialized language processors to generate complete processors quickly and reliably. It simplifies the development of new special-purpose languages, implementation of existing languages on new hardware and extension of the constructs and features of existing languages.
