[antlr-interest] Can't get "\<" to work in inline template rule?

[Peter Nann]

Just starting out with what I hope should be a simple translator...

For now, as a start, I am simply trying to turn:
	[ a ]
Into:
	<one-of> a </one-of>

But I can't get an angle bracket verbatim in the output!!!

In the code below, you will see I am only trying to produce the first
'<'.
Simply escaping the '<' does not seem to work as advertised...
I have tried double, triple escaping, to no avail.
 - Take the "\<" out of this grammar, and it works fine.

Please help, I am a little dissappointed to have run into trouble so
early...
Woe is me...


Here's my Test.g file:

---- Test.g ----
grammar Test;
options {output=template; rewrite=true;}

gslfile : orlist ;

orlist
	: '[' WORD ']'
		-> template(oi={$WORD.text}) "\<one-of <oi> /one-of"
	;
	
WORD : ('a'..'z'|'-'|'_'|'\'') ('a'..'z'|'-'|'_'|'\'')* ;
WS : ( ' ' | '\t' | '\r' | '\n' )+ {$channel = HIDDEN;} ;

And here's the error output:
