That looks suspiciously like an SGML DTD to me...
Rather than doing the whole lex/yacc bit, I'd suggest finding some
ready-made SGML-parsing tools. For instance, if you are handy with
Perl I think there are some SGML modules in CPAN ... certainly there
are HTML parsers, which'd probably be easy to adapt to the purpose.
