BNF refers to the Backus-Nauer Form. XML 1.0 is described in Extended Backus-Nauer Form (EBNF). Here is an example of EBNF from the XML recommendation: [3] S ::= (#x20 | #x9 | #xD | #xA)+ This production means that the symbol /S/ stands for one or more occurrences (+) of either the space (x20), the tab (x9), the linefeed (x0A), and the carriage return (x09) characters. Whenever the /S/ shows up in the EBNF, it represents space as described by the production [3]. See the XML recommendation [1] for a brief description of EBNF notation; see ISO/IEC 14977 [2] for a complete description.
