Polygot emitters in action
Converting
BLUE PHRASE can be used to represent many structured languages, and instant conversion is possible with the dedicated emitters that are built into the BLUE PROCESSOR .
Emitting markup
The BLUE PROCESSOR emits HTML by default, but this can be overridden by specifying the --emit option. Consider this prose example and its language counterparts.
