TCS
From Eclipsepedia
TCS (Textual Concrete Syntax) is an Eclipse/GMT component that enables the specification of textual concrete syntaxes for Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) by attaching syntactic information to metamodels. With TCS, it is possible to parse (text-to-model) and pretty-print (model-to-text) DSL sentences. Moreover, TCS provides an Eclipse editor, which features: syntax highlighting, an outline, hyperlinks, and hovers for every DSL which syntax is represented in TCS.

Questions and Discussions About TCS Usage
Questions and discussions about the usage of TCS should take place on the eclipse.modeling.tmf Eclipse newsgroup of the TMF project, of which TCS is a component. Please, remember to prefix the subject of your TCS-related posts with [TCS].
Bug reports, and feature requests should be made on the bugzilla TMF/TCS component.
Information About TCS
Existing TCS Definitions
The TCS Zoo is a library of languages that have already been defined in TCS. More precisely, their abstract syntax has been defined in KM3, and their concrete syntax has been defined in TCS.
