LaTeX is based on TeX, which doesn't have contex-free grammar, because
you can change class of every simbol during processing. And packages
can introduce own sublanguages (for example, XY-pic).


Of course, you can limit your tool to "standard" syntax and ignore
such featuers. Then task of creating a grammar is homework-like :)
