Hey Bastien!

>Can you tell more about what you mean by "grammar"?

I think Nick pretty much nailed down the description of what a grammar would
be. I'm not well-versed in compiler-theory and my real world experience with
parsers are limited - I made some pretty hackish parsers in the past but
none used a grammar or parser-generator, though.

If having a grammer is so hard, then I think I will just use the elisp
regexp-based parsing implementation as a reference :)

@Eric: I would only need some basic syntax highlighting and tab / space
handling, as well as folding. I don't mean to implement an online version of
the org, since the best place to use org will always be emacs ... or not.
Let's see how it goes, I will keep you guys posted.
