A typical ALGOL 68 parser contains a number of wellstudied and formally elegant algorithms, such as symbol-table management SLR(1) parsing, mode equivalencing, and coercion, together with a large amount of relatively ragged code to process the program text and use these algorithms at the proper time.A means of organizing this ragged code using affix transduction grammars is proposed.
