Hi, I have what I hope will be a simple question.

In my grammar file I have 'clock' as a keyword in one of my rules. In an unrelated part of the grammar I take a string as valid input and clock is should be valid in this portion. Currently when clock is used as a string, and not in quotes, it is highlighted as a keyword and produces an error. Is there an easy way around this? Thanks.

Edited to clarify a bit.

Hi use a data type rule:

ID_PLUS: "mykeyword" | ID;

Some rule: name=ID_PLUS;

Thanks Christian, that solves most of my problem. Is there a way for the keyword to not be colored when it's being used as a string? Thanks.

Hi,

guess you have to use semantic highlighting for that

Thanks for the help, got the keywords handled, forgot to create a value converter. Still haven't worked out how to selectively disable syntax highlighting of keywords, but it's not a high priority.
