Thanks Steven, I’ve been holding back - so used to the command line.
Please let us know if / when there is an installable app.
It's on the to do list, but it will take a while.

To potentially make your lives easier, I have made an interface that you
can access from the command line, if you have curl installed:
    curl -F 'g=@file.ixml' -F 'i=@file.txt'
http://pembo.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/ixml.sh

This runs ixml on the ixml file file.ixml, and the input file file.txt, and
returns the resultant xml as text:

<date>
    <day>4</day>
    <month>November</month>
    <year>2021</year>
</date>

You can use a path after the @.

The g= and i= have no significance. The grammar file must be first, and the
input second.

I've included a Unix shell command cixml.

     cixml file : assumes file.ixml and file.inp exist and uses those
     cixml file.ixml input.txt : uses the two files mentioned. The first
must be the ixml file.
