I want to use your solution, however it throws errors about "The
following alternatives can never be matched: 1" for MC_QUESTION and
MC_INCORRECT. Shouldn't the below work?
MC_QUESTION : INT ('.'|')') .* ENDOFLINE;
MC_INCORRECT : LETTER '.' .* ENDOFLINE;
MC_CORRECT : '*' MC_INCORRECT;
fragment ENDOFLINE : NEWLINE | { input.LA(1) == EOF }?;
fragment NEWLINE : '\r'? '\n';
fragment LETTER : ('a'..'z'|'A'..'Z');
fragment INT : '0'..'9'+;
