A library to generate syntax ("railroad") diagrams for Rust's macro_rules!().

Diagrams are generated as Scalable Vector Graphics, with layout-details controlled by customizable CSS.

As an example, given the definition of nom's method

macro_rules! method {
    ($name:ident<$a:ty>( $i:ty ) -> $o:ty, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty,$e:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty,$o:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty>( $i:ty ) -> $o:ty, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty,$e:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$o:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty>, $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty>( $i:ty ) -> $o:ty, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty,$e:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty,$o:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    ($name:ident<$a:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty>( $i:ty ) -> $o:ty, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty,$e:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$i:ty,$o:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty,$o:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
    (pub $name:ident<$a:ty>, mut $self_:ident, $submac:ident!( $($args:tt)* )) => { ... };
}

... the library generates an SVG which renders (using default CSS) as

Syntax diagram for nom::method


To generate the examples shown here, run

cargo run --example various

which will output some html-files to /examples; Feel free to hack on the demos in /examples/various.rs.
