[antlr-interest] book, online doc discrepancy?

[Adam Connelly]

About the '<' '>' and '$' difference, AFAIK you can specify whether you want
to use AngleBracketLexer or the dollar sign one in the constructor for a
template.

That's maybe one thing that should be standardised.  When I started using
StringTemplate I just loaded individual templates, and used "$name$" style
placeholders.  After a while I ended up creating group files and it took me
a while to figure out why the templates wouldn't work.  Is there a reason
for this difference?

Also, the different comment style between "outside templates in group file"
(C-Style) and within templates is maybe slightly confusing.  Is there a
reason why it wouldn't be possible to just use "<!" "!>" or "$!" "!$"
everywhere?
