Maintain order in the file? [message #693081]

Hello!

I have a little problem. The editor and the parsed tree it seems it doesn't keep the order. That is, for example for the code:

#textdomain wesnoth-dw
[textdomain]
    name="wesnoth-dw"
[/textdomain]

It generates the tree (which can be seen in the outline):

textdomain
|--name
#textdomain

while the order should be the one in the file. How I can fix it? Also, the same problem arises when, let's say, I get an instance of the root node, and call

root.eAllContents();

iterator. The iterator will give me the same order as in the outline of the file.

I think it's the way I've defined the grammar, but is there any chance to make it parse in the order in the file?

This is a bit of grammar for the specified code:

WMLRoot:
	( Tags += WMLTag
	| MacroCalls += WMLMacroCall
	| MacroDefines += WMLMacroDefine
	| Textdomains += WMLTextdomain
	| IfDefs += WMLPreprocIF
	)*
	;

Where WMLTag is the "[textdomain]" tag, while the ifdef is the "#textdomain" thingy.

Thanks,
Timo

Hi,

You add the parsed stuff to different lists (tags,MacroCalls,..) so no wonder that the tree is not linear. You could Recife this to only one list (List+=...) and a Common supertype (supertype: WMLTag|WMLMacroCall|...;
