Hello, I need a HTML section inside one of my objects. For example,
Model:
"Name: " name=ID
"Description: {" description=Description
"}"
;
Description:
"<html>"
//more HTML code
"</html>"
;
I have thought of this problems:
- The HTML tags and attributes would introduce many keywords to may language and I don't want to use the escape character everywhere in my code.
- The HTML grammar is case-insensitive. I have tried the ignoreCase option, but I don't want all my DSL to be case-insensitive, only de HTML grammar.
What would you recommend me?
Thanks!

Solution depends on the rest of your grammar / terminals.
The easiest is to have a terminal that eats everything from '<html>' to
'</html>' If you do not allow the '<' and 'html' and '>' to be separated
with whitespace something like this:
terminal HTML : '<html>' -> '</html>' ;
You have to give this terminal the highest precedence as you do not want
comments and strings inside the html to be lexed as such.
There are more options that require a bit more work.
