===== Token Recognition and Shell Grammar =====
a more human-readable version of the following topics:
- http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_03

===== General ===== A simplified version of `man bash' and interesting bash tricks.:-)
The whole site is meant to be like that: a simplified or better human-readable collection of manpage snipplets. Maybe a page with the main topics of bash manpage that link to the proper articles would be good (I just don't have enough articles heh) - a kind of summary page --- Jan
===== Some ideas =====
hmm maybe some of this stuff could make it somewhere to the wiki...:)
- an article about how to do ksh coprocess in bash (:V4: may be obsolete regarding bash4 ) - single way -> process substitution - 2 way name pipes
- let's write a interactive tutorial script that teaches readline/bash (like C-h t in emacs, or vimtutor or vilearn)
- programmable history: http://pastebin.bash-hackers.org/index.php?show=22
===== Implemented =====
==== Bash For Loop Multi-word lines ====
From this solution on modifying the internal Field Separator (IFS) in bash I found here:
added to the for-loop-article as example, but also made some critical comments; thanks --- Jan
==== Getopts tutorial ====
- My school offers a UNIX programming course (C, shell, etc.). I use this site extensively to help my friends taking this course learn concepts such as I/O redirection etc. As it gets more advanced they need to do option parsing. Therefore I would like to see a "getopts illustrated" article or some such, showing the breakdown of how it parses parameters.
