The document describes how to build a parser for Backus-Naur Form (BNF) grammars in Haskell using the attoparsec parsing library. It defines types and parsers to represent BNF syntax, rules, expressions, lists and terms. The parsers use functions like spaces, string, text from attoparsec to parse individual components and combine them using operators like <*>, <|> to build up the full BNF grammar
