For an existing language, I want to allow to put text snippets in my DSL. So I added:

('LPMX=' lpmxText=ML_FREECODE)?
with:
terminal ML_FREECODE : '«' -> '»' ;

In my DSL, I have:

LPMX=«#ifundefined abc
#define abc = 123at
#endif
; just an example
»

but in the generator, all lines with a "#" are not included in the AST.

Others like:
LPMX=«abacap(12)
test12
abc»

are delivered as expected. What do I have to do to get all the text in the generator ?

TIA, Uli

There must be something else in you grammar / value converter / generator causing this. Did you debugwhat is in your ast

Hi Christian,
thanks for your fast reply.

my project is based on the greeting example
and beside the grammar and the generator, I have not touched the code.
And I didn't have coded something with a if "#" ...

I will give it a try with a minimal reproducable example, perhaps this will give us some clue.
