[antlr-interest] Antlr syntax reference

Dear Steven,

Right you are. Thought I'd already searched for '\n' on
http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ANTLR3/Grammars - I must have searched for
'/n' - oops (I've obviously been having a long day... :-/ ).

Thanks for picking this up for me! It's answered my request :)
