## 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>
- <http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_10>
## General
A simplified version of \`man bash' and interesting bash tricks.:-)
> The whole site is meant to be like that: a simplified or better

## 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 [Bash 4 features](bash4))
1. single way -\> process substitution
2. 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:

## Implemented
### Bash For Loop Multi-word lines
From this solution on modifying the internal Field Separator (IFS) in
bash I found here:
- <http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Debian/2006-08/msg00462.html>
> added to [the for-loop-article](/syntax/ccmd/classic_for) 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.
