[antlr-interest] Typesetting grammars

I can't seem to find any information on automatically type-setting ANTLR
grammars, i.e., on exporting a given grammar in a manner similar to how
ANTLRWorks' syntax diagrams work, except that the target is LaTeX,
formatted html, or similar.
There's a Pygments mode, but it syntax-highlights everything, including
actions, it seems. I was playing around with the code and it also
doesn't seem to behave in an entirely predictable manner when you change
things. I wrote a quick filter to get rid of everything not BNF-like in
the Pygments output but it requires annotations with comments in the
ANTLR file and, while it's one time to do, I'm not sure I like the end
result: there are just too many levels in play within a given specification.
Please tell me I have missed something, and that type-setting is catered
to already. I mean, it shouldn't be too hard to re-target the ANTLRWorks
code ...
Cheers,
Rene
