Graphical syntax diagrams for pf.conf (pdf): http://pfsyntax.maik.li/pfsyntax.pdf (71k)
I have made a smal shell-script that creats a tex file with the syntax from "man pf.conf".
The tex file produced by pf2syn: http://pfsyntax.maik.li/syn.tex (11k)
The script, a sed commands file and a sample main_pdf.tex file (tgz): http://pfsyntax.maik.li/PF2Syn.tgz (2k)
How to create the pdf file:
$ pf2syn > syn.tex $ pdflatex main_pdf.tex $ rail main_pdf $ makeindex main_pdf $ pdflatex main_pdf.tex
You need the program rail: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/rail/?action=/tex-archive/support/
ToDo:

"-" in non-terminal, at the moment replaced by "."
links non-terminal -> definition

Does someone else know programs to prodcue "rail way diagrams" in LaTeX? I found "rail" and "syngen", but I only get "rail" to work..."

Screw pf.conf. Why not make it follow the parser (.y) source ?

Nice work! I guess my procrastination on learning pf paid off, this should make things easier now.

Nice, I'll probably start carrying this around in stead of a printout of the manpage :)
