[antlr-interest] Is there a way to separately categorize known HTML and unknown XML tags in the lexer?

[Gerald B. Rosenberg]

Antlr 3.0b6

Trying to process a defined set of HTML tags while treating any other 
XML tags encountered as "just text".  Categorizing the known HTML tag 
types in the lexer seems cleaner, but requires some kind of catchall 
for the unknown category of XML tags.

Any way to do this, or do I have to push it all up into the parser?

Thanks,
Gerald

XML_TYPE
:  catchall for all tag types that are not a known BLOCK_TYPE OR SIMPLE_TYPE...
;

BLOCK_TYPE
: ( 'html'
| 'head'
| 'body'
| 'p'
| 'a'
...
| 'th'
| 'td' ){ if (debug) System.out.print("Block  "); }
;

SIMPLE_TYPE
: ( 'br'
| 'hr'
| 'col'){ if (debug) System.out.print("Simple "); }
;
