[xwiki-devs] Analysis of the XWiki 2.0 grammar

Hello, I have made a complete analysis of and made extensive changes to the XWiki grammar file to make the grammar strictly LL(1). Please have a look here: http://code.google.com/p/wikimodel/issues/detail?id=169 Below is a summary of things that I find surprising in the XWiki grammar, and we should consider changing: Unexpected: Parameters at the beginning of line terminates a block or a paragraph, even if they are inline to the line. Expected: Only empty lines or appropriate end-tokens may terminate a block or a paragraph. Alternatively, the parameters may terminate a block or paragraph if they are indeed block parameters. Unexpected: No empty lines event is generated if there are exactly two new lines before something that is not a paragraph. Expected: Empty lines event should always be generated on sequences of two or more new lines characters. Unexpected: Header tokens can be arbitrarily long sequences of equal signs. If there are more than six, header level 6 is chosen. The optional end token does not need to match the start token. Expected: Sequences of more than 6 equal signs should be special characters. Mismatching end tokens should be special characters. Unexpected: If there are block parameters before an empty line, an empty paragraph is generated and the parameters are applied to these. Expected: Block parameters should be applied to the following header, table, paragraph etc. Best regards, Andreas Jonsson
