I know I can do that, but what if I want to have it as a lexer token, but
still show the text of the token rather than the name? Example:
rule
: expression SCOLON
;
SCOLON : ';'
;
I think I might have a partial workaround (by altering the way the parser
gets the token name), but I just wanted to know if there was any facility in
antlr to specify that you want to use the token text rather than the token
name.
I guess a reason for wanting to be able to do this would be if you planned
to have multiple lexers with the same parser (like if I wanted to have two
lexers, one which specifies an end of expression character as ';' and
another which specifies it as ':' - a bit contrived I'll agree).
Cheers,
Adam
