Most of the pages on the GF web site have an exemplary simple design, with just one column of text. This make them adapt exceptionally well to screens of different sizes. In particular, they should be easy to read even on smartphones. However, smartphone browsers like Mobile Safari and the default Android Browser assume that pages do *not* adapt well to small screens, so by default they emulate a big screen, forcing the user to zoom in to a part of the page to be able to read it. By adding the meta tag <meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width"> the big screen emulation can be turned off, allowing pages to be formatted to fit the actual screen size and text to be displayed at a readable size.
DESCRIPTION
The Grammatical Framework (=GF) is a grammar formalism based on type theory.
It consists of
* a special-purpose programming language
* a compiler of the language
* a generic grammar processor
The compiler reads GF grammars from user-provided files, and the
generic grammar processor performs various tasks with the grammars:
* generation
* parsing
* translation
* type checking
* computation
* paraphrasing
* random generation
* syntax editing
GF particularly addresses four aspects of grammars:
* multilinguality (parallel grammars for different languages)
* semantics (semantic conditions of well-formedness, semantic
properties of expressions)
* grammar engineering (modularity, abstractions, libraries)
* embeddability in programs written in other languages (C,C++,
Haskell, Java, JavaScript)
