Multiplexing Xtext lexers? [message #1504482]

Hi,

I wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. To sum it
up I want to mix a simple DSL with MarkDown and LaTeX math. The LaTeX
code is always contained within the MarkDown code and the MarkDown code
is always within the DSL code. There are special tokens indicating the
start and end of such blocks. When solving a problem like this earlier,
I used the lexer multiplexing mechanism in ANTLR2 and figured that
would be the way to go with Xtext also. However I could not find an
obvious way to do this.

Best regards,
Torkild
